Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Benazepril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor; drugs in this class are contraindicated in the presence of impaired renal function. Mental illness, hepatic disease, or peptic ulcer disease is not a contraindication with this drug.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Mebendazole is not absorbed systemically so it has few adverse effects. Adverse effects include transient abdominal pain, diarrhea, and fever. Adverse effects do not include constipation, nausea, or hematuria.
