Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The patient is to take 200 mg bid, which means twice a day. (200 times 2 equals 400 mg daily.)

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Nausea and vomiting associated with motion sickness is best treated with an anticholinergic that acts as an antihistamine. Histamine H2 blockers affect gastric acid production. Substance P/neurokinin 1 receptor antagonists and cannabis are prescribed only as adjuncts to cancer chemotherapy drugs or other therapy.
