The mother of a 6-year-old child receiving
 
  diphenoxylate (Lomotil) for the last 4 days for diarrhea reports by telephone that the diarrhea has stopped and that the child's pants cannot be zipped or buttoned today. What is your best advice?
  a. Give the child only half the dose of the drug today.
  b. Do not give the child fluids for the next 24 hours.
  c. Stop the drug and go immediately to the prescriber's office.
  d. This is expected because when diarrhea is cured the stool enlarges the abdomen.

Question 2

A patient is prescribed levothyroxine (Synthroid) and a fiber supplement. What key point would you be sure to teach the patient about these drugs?
 
  a. Take the drugs together as there are no interactions between them.
  b. Be sure to take the fiber supplement 2 hours before a meal and the levothyroxine 3 hours after a meal.
  c. Take the fiber supplement in the morning with breakfast and the levothyroxine in the evening before you go to bed.
  d. Do not take the drugs together because a fiber supplement will decrease the absorption of your levothyroxine.
