Answer to Question 1

B
The most common side effects of ondansetron are headache, diarrhea, and dizziness. Ondanse-tron is used off-label to treat morning sickness. These side effects do not indicate a need to stop taking the drug or to report the side effects to the provider.

Answer to Question 2

C
In early studies, about 30 of drugs caused unanticipated side effects, some of them potentially lethal. These same studies revealed that about 20 of drugs were ineffective in children and that about 20 of drugs required doses different from those extrapolated from adult dosing. Because the early studies showed that there is much to learn, the BPCA and PREA were permanently reauthorized by Congress in 2012.
