Answer to Question 1

Answer: a
Tablets should be kept tightly sealed in their original brown bottle to protect them from
heat, moisture, and light. An open bottle of tablets should not be kept longer than 6 months; an
unopened bottle should be stored at room temperature until the expiration date, then discarded.
No other pills should be placed in this bottle. He should carry the tablets with him at all times for
emergency use.
