Answer to Question 1

A
Substances that may potentially contain alcohol must be avoided. The use of antacids would be safe.

Answer to Question 2

C
Evidence-based practice includes research findings, performance data, and consensus recommendations of recognized experts. Apart from situations requiring a regulatory basis, the best basis to substantiate clinical practice is the evidence of well-established research findings. Such evidence reflects verifiable, replicable facts and relationships that have been exposed to stringent scientific criteria.
