Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The patient who is diagnosed with sleep apnea should avoid shift work. Caffeine use may or may not be indicated. The patient should ideally not take naps. The patient should not increase the Ritalin dose without the input of the primary health provider.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Numerous medications combine with octreotide to result in a prolonged QT interval with an increased risk of ventricular dysrhythmia and cardiac arrest. Increased growth, anaphylaxis, and respiratory arrest are not noted adverse effects or the result of drug interactions with octreotide.
