Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
If signs of folate deficiency develop, pyrimethamine will need to be discontinued so the prescriber needs to be notified immediately. Folate deficiency presents with diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, and anemia. The other signs and symptoms would need to be reported if significant and/or long-lasting.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Patients receiving phentolamine often experience extensions of the therapeutic effects, including hypotension, orthostatic hypotension, angina, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, flushing, tachycardia, and arrhythmiaall of which are related to vasodilation and decreased blood pressure. Headache, weakness, and dizziness often occur in response to hypotension. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may also occur. Hypertension, wheezing, and depressed respiration would not be associated with phentolamine.
