Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Cholestyramine is administered to patients to reduce LDL cholesterol in patients who are already taking a statin drug. Digoxin is not given to lower LDL cholesterol. Vitamin D is not given to lower LDL cholesterol. Calcium carbonate is not given to lower LDL cholesterol.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
It is important to ask the patient about recent administration ergot alkaloids. The ergot alkaloids should not be given within 24 hours of the administration of triptans. Signs of low blood pressure should be reported promptly, and there is no particular reason to avoid acetaminophen. Triptans do not make symptoms worse before they provide relief.
