Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Disulfiram interferes with hepatic metabolism of alcohol and allows the accumulation of acetaldehyde. If alcohol is ingested during disulfiram therapy, acetaldehyde causes headaches, confusion, seizures, chest pain, flushing, palpitations, hypotension, sweating, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, and a garlic-like aftertaste. Disulfiram will not cause hypertension, increased alertness, or bleeding.
