Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Narrow-angle glaucoma will result in increased intraocular pressure, and the patient should not receive the anticholinergic agent. Patients who suffer from diabetes mellitus, myocardial infarction, or hyperparathyroidism can normally be administered anticholinergic agents.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Trazodone (Desyrel) is administered more often for sedation and sleep than depression. Fluoxetine (Prozac) is not administered for sleep. Olanzapine (Zyprexa) is not administered for sleep. Citalopram hydrobromide is not administered for sleep.
