Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The most common adverse effects associated with oral iron supplements are related to direct GI irritation (e.g., GI upset, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dark stools, and constipation). Oral iron supplements do not cause hypotension, clay-colored stools, or frequent flatus.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Aprepitant acts directly in the central nervous system to block receptors associated with nausea and vomiting with little to no effect on serotonin and dopamine levels, nor corticosteroid receptors. It is approved for use in treating nausea and vomiting associated with highly emetogenic antineoplastic chemotherapy, including cisplatin therapy. It is given orally, in combination with dexamethasone. Bonamine, Phenergan, and Ativan are not used in conjunction with Emend.
