Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Caspofungin is administered in the acute care setting. The patient should receive instruction about the histamine reaction to the medication and the necessity of reporting any cardiac symptoms. Diaphoresis, dry mouth, and muscle pain are not normally associated with the administration of caspofungin.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Anxiety is characteristic of a hyperthyroid state. Constipation, cold intolerance, and loss of appetite are associated with hypothyroidism.
