Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The FDA has issued a black box warning alerting health care providers to the increased risk of suicidal ideation in children, adolescents, and young adults 18 to 24 years of age when taking antidepressant medications. VTE, arrhythmias, and hypomania are not likely adverse effects.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Aztreonam is effective against gram-negative bacteria similar to aminoglycosides, but the drug does not cause kidney damage or hearing loss. Aztreonam is not a lower-cost medication. Aztreonam is not administered orally. Aztreonam does not cause less GI upset.
