Answer to Question 1

A
PPIs carry a possible increased risk of fractures in postmenopausal women. The NP should begin therapy with a histamine-2 blocker, such as ranitidine.

Answer to Question 2

D
Urticaria is indicative of a hypersensitivity reaction to acetaminophen. Patients who are hypersensitive should not take the drug again. Laboratory tests are not indicated. An urticarial rash does not indicate Reye's syndrome.
