Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Foods that change the pH of the gastrointestinal (GI) system interfere with the absorption of iron. It is best taken on an empty stomach, but if it causes GI upset, then it can be taken with orange juice, which helps absorption. Caffeine and some foods interfere with iron absorption. The temperature of the water should not impact the medication absorption.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Shag carpeting can interfere with ambulation, so can the toys of a 2-year-old. Sharing a bathroom also does not affect the environment positively. South-facing windows with blinds allow sunlight, which is a positive environmental condition.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
