Answer to Question 1

Feedback:
The nurse instructs patients to take aprepitant as prescribed before the onset of nausea and vomiting. It does not need to be taken on a regular schedule and should not be withheld until the onset or peak of symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Chloramphenicol is metabolized in the liver and excreted in the urine. It is not eliminated in the liver, exhaled through the lungs, or excreted in the bile.
