Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
When calcium channel blockers are used concurrently with neuromuscular junction blockers, the patient is at increased risk of prolonged paralysis. The dose of the neuromuscular junction blocker should be lowered if this combination cannot be avoided and the patient should be monitored closely. There is no anticipated drugdrug interaction with ACE inhibitors, beta blockers, or montelukast.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
MMR is administered initially as a combined vaccine at 15 months. Therefore, options A, B, and C are incorrect.
