Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Beta-blockers cause a slowing of the heart rate. They do not normally result in drowsiness, short-term relief from fatigue, or a notable increase in SaO2.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Increased CNS depression occurs when cyclobenzaprine is combined with alcohol or other CNS depressants. There is no particular need for the patient to avoid fatty foods, stool softeners, or vitamin supplements.
