Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
This medication does not need to go through the dissolution phase, so it is more rapidly absorbed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Allopurinol (Zyloprim) increases the effects of warfarin (Coumadin). Allopurinol does not interact with diphenhydramine, metoclopramide, and propranolol.

It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
