Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Research has demonstrated that zinc may decrease the intensity of the common cold and decrease HDLs, and that large doses may lead to copper deficiency. Zinc may impair the function of tetracycline, so it should not be taken with antibiotics.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Nausea, vomiting, and anorexia are symptoms of vitamin D toxicity.
