Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Metamucil is a natural substance that forms a gelatin-like bulk of the intestinal contents. This agent stimulates local activity. It is considered milder and less irritating than many other bulk stimulants. Patients must use caution and take it with plenty of water because Metamucil absorbs large amounts of water and produces stools of gelatin-like consistency. It does not slow peristalsis, promote water reabsorption, or have antibacterial properties.

Answer to Question 2

A, D
Feedback:
Antiplatelet agents available for use include abciximab (ReoPro), anagrelide (Agrylin), aspirin, cilostazol (Pletal), clopidogrel (Plavix), dipyridamole (Persantine), eptifibatide (Integrilin), ticlopidine (Ticlid), ticagrelor (Brilinta), and tirofiban (Aggrastat). Iprivask and Arixtra are anticoagulants, and Actuvase is a thrombolytic agent.
