Answer to Question 1

Rationale: Loperamide is an antidiarrheal agent. It inhibits peristalsis in the intestinal wall and inhibits intestinal secretion so that the number of stools and water content are decreased. Sennosides (Senokot), bisacodyl (Dulcolax Bowel Prep Kit), and psyllium (Metamucil) are laxatives.

Answer to Question 2

__________ mL
