Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

C
A single agent would be a better choice, so that the patient is not taking unnecessary ingredients.
Although convenient, combination cold remedies have disadvantages. These combinations all contain fixed doses, so there is a chance that one ingredient will be therapeutic, whereas another may be excessive or subtherapeutic.
Antibiotics are not indicated for the common cold. Treatment is purely based on symptoms.
Just because a cold remedy can be purchased over the counter, the patient should not assume it is safe. Many cold remedies contain two or more medications. Patients should read labels carefully and check with the prescriber or pharmacist.
