Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
With amebicides, observe for anorexia, nausea, vomiting, epigastric burning, and diarrhea that can lead to malnutrition and significant weight loss, which the nurse assesses for with each visit to intervene before significant malnutrition occurs. Weight gain, hypertension, or seizures are not associated adverse effects.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Factors that can affect distribution include the drug's lipid solubility and ionization and the perfusion of the reactive tissue. The lipid solubility of a drug does not influence absorption, metabolism, or excretion.
