Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Flavanoids are found in grapefruit, and taking diazepam (Valium) with grapefruit may increase drug levels. The other statements are appropriate.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Laxatives increase gastric and intestinal emptying, decreasing the time the medication is in contact with the gastric lining and is available for drug absorption.
