Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Children with glaucoma are treated with mydriatics and cycloplegics, such as tropicamide. The child with glaucoma is not treated with cortisporin, phenylephrine, or acetazolamide.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Prescribers should not order Viagra for men who also take organic nitrates, commonly used to treat angina, because the sildenafilnitrate combination can cause severe hypotension resulting in dizziness, syncope, heart attack, or stroke. Metformin, metoprolol, and simvastatin are not likely to cause adverse effects.
