Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Antihistamines are contraindicated in patients with prostatic hypertrophy. Antihistamine agents can be administered to patients with Parkinson's disease, asthma, and diabetes mellitus.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Lidocaine is contraindicated in patients allergic to local anesthetic agents. It is important to determine if the patient has been administered lidocaine in the past, but it is imperative to ascertain any untoward effects. The medication will be administered intravenously, so it is not necessary to assess the patient's ability to swallow. However, swallowing can be impaired after administration and should be assessed. It is not necessary to do a nutritional assessment at this time.
