Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The nurse instructs patients about the effects of atropine such as photophobia and stinging on administration. Atropine does not make it difficult to close the eyes, and it causes pupil dilation, not constriction.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Uses of epoetin include the prevention and treatment of anemia associated with chronic renal failure, hepatic impairment, or anticancer chemotherapy. Pentoxifylline is used for intermittent claudication to maintain the flexibility of red blood cells. Estazolam is a benzodiazepine agent used short term for insomnia. Dextromethorphan hydrobromide is used to relieve cough.
