Answer to Question 1

b, d,

Answer to Question 2

A
For a patient who is a construction worker, the most important instruction is to wear sunscreen and protective clothing, because sulfonamides can cause photosensitivity.
Reporting nausea and stomach upset is important, as is taking the medication with food, but these are not the most important instructions.
Myalgia is not a side effect of sulfonamide therapy.
