Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Patients should not drink fluids or eat after gargling with viscous lidocaine for at least 60 minutes due to risk of aspiration. Upright positioning will not mitigate this risk. A textured diet is unnecessary.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Amphetamines are contraindicated upon the development of hyperthyroidism. The patient will require a higher calorie count, not a discontinuation of a high-calorie count. The patient will not require an assessment for pulmonary edema. The patient will only require a proton pump inhibitor if gastric hyperacidity occurs.
