Answer to Question 1

D
Drug therapy may include antacids, H2-receptor antagonists, proton pump inhibitors, and proki-netic drugs. Priorities related to education about medication include checking for possible drug interactions with other drugs the patient is taking and verifying that the patient can afford the drugs prescribed. (If the patient cannot afford the medications, compliance is an unrealistic ex-pectation.) While it is important for the patient to attempt to identify triggers, commit to dietary and lifestyle modifications, and understand each medication, those are questions that can be answered over time.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D, E
All options are possible complications from untreated gonorrhea.
