Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

While it’s true that crushing an enteric-coated medication can cause stomach upset, this is not the primary reason for not crushing the medication.

Choice B rationale:

Crushing the medication and mixing it with food is not recommended because it would disrupt the enteric coating, leading to rapid absorption of the medication.

Choice C rationale:

Enteric-coated medications are designed to be released slowly over time. Crushing the medication would cause all of the medication to be released at once, which could lead to a higher risk of side effects.

Choice D rationale:

The enteric coating is designed to protect the medication from stomach acid, so crushing the medication would not necessarily cause it to be inactivated by stomach acid.

A. Constipation B. Bradycardia. C. Cough. D. Headache.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Atenolol does not commonly cause constipation.

Choice B rationale:

Atenolol, a beta blocker, can slow heart rate, leading to bradycardia.

Choice C rationale:

Atenolol does not typically cause cough.

Choice D rationale:

While some may experience headache, it’s not a common side effect of atenolol.
