Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The generic name often indicates the drug group (e.g., drugs with generic names ending in cillin are penicillins). Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are medications that have antidepressant effects; SSRI is a broad classification, not a generic name. Diuretics are medications that increase urine output; diuretic is a broad classification, not a generic name. ACE inhibitor is the broad classification for the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, not the generic name.

Answer to Question 2

A
