Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: The maximum amount of ibuprofen (Motrin) to be taken in 24 hours is 3,200 mg, not 4,000 mg.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: There is no indication that Tylenol should be given with high-carbohydrate foods.

Rationale 3: The duration of action of acetaminophen (Tylenol) is only 34 hours.
Rationale 4: Aspirin is not recommended for children due to the possibility of Reye's Syndrome.
