Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The use of two antibiotics when treating H. pylori peptic ulcer disease helps to combat bacterial resistance because H. pylori develops resistance rapidly. Giving two antibiotics, in this case, is not to reduce the dose or to cause synergistic effects. Antibiotics do not affect acid production.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Antacids can slow the absorption of anticholinergics and should be taken 2 hours after anticholinergic administration. Antacids should be given 1 to 3 hours after a meal and should not be given with dairy products.
