Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The incidence of perforated peptic ulcers or bleeding is more common in older patients taking NSAIDs than in younger adults.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Cough syrup may contain alcohol. The patient should be cautioned against hidden forms of alcohol, because small amounts of any form of alcohol will provoke a reaction.
