Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Chloroquine is associated with visual disturbances and a patient receiving this drug should receive regular ophthalmic exams. Heart and lung toxicity is not associated with chloroquine use. Immunizations are not associated with chloroquine use.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
A nurse should first consult a drug guide for compatibility when two or more drugs are being given at the same time. After compatibility is determined the medication can be administered. The nurse will perform hand hygiene, check for patient allergies, and ensure the right patient receives the medication by using two identifiers.
