Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Because antacids, anticholinergics, and H2 blockers (e.g., Pepcid, Zantac) change gastrointestinal (GI) pH, the patient should not take ketoconazole for at least 2 hours after taking any H2 blockers.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A nurse should learn as much as possible about the complete history of the patient, including any allergy to drugs such as thiazides that might be contraindications or precautions to the use of sulfonamides.
