Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The patient may take the medication without regard to meals. The patient does not need to avoid dairy products, take the pill only in the morning, or take it on an empty stomach.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Influenza vaccine should be given every year in October or November. The vaccine will not cause influenza. Minor illnesses, such as a cold, are not a contraindication for receiving the vaccine. Antiviral medications are not as effective as the flu vaccine in preventing influenza.
