Answer to Question 1

A
This patient is having insomnia because of anxiety. Alprazolam has a high abuse potential, so starting therapy with an antianxiety medication is a good choice. Melatonin and diphenhydramine are given for insomnia.

Answer to Question 2

A
Aminoglycosides are associated with ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity. Recovery of renal function occurs if the drug is stopped at the first sign of renal impairment. The NP should evaluate the possibility of ototoxicity with a serial audiometric test.
