Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Gynecomastia is an adverse effect that is more likely to occur with cimetidine than with other histamine2 antagonists. Hypoxia, hypertension, and seizures are not adverse effects of cimetidine.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
A patient who is experiencing constipation should be instructed to increase fiber in his diet. The patient should not take a laxative. The patient should not be instructed to take diphenoxylate hydrochloride (Lomotil) because it is an antidiarrheal agent. The patient should not be given metronidazole (Flagyl).
