Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The first-generation antihistamines, including diphenhydramine, dexchlorpheniramine, and hydroxyzine, are associated with drowsiness. Loratadine is one of the second-generation antihistamines, which have fewer anticholinergic effects and are less likely to cause drowsiness.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Entacapone is an adjunctive drug that is prescribed when a patient with Parkinson's disease has a wearing off effect of his or her other Parkinson's medications, meaning the drugs previously prescribed are having less of an effect. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect.
