Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Ketorolac (Toradol) should not be administered to a patient with a suspected or confirmed cerebrovascular bleed. Furosemide (Lasix) is administered to reduce fluid volume and is not administered to treat inflammation. Hydrochlorothiazide with triamterene is administered to reduce fluid volume and is not administered to treat inflammation. Digoxin (Lanoxin) is administered to increase cardiac output, not to treat inflammation.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Glaucoma is characterized by increased IOP, possibly damaging the optic nerve, which transmits images to the brain. If damage to the optic nerve from high IOP continues, glaucoma leads to loss of vision. Cataracts, myopia, and conjunctivitis are not the results of increased IOP.
