Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Food typically delays drug absorption, although it occasionally has other effects.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Clients with heart disease, hypertension, and thyroid disease should avoid taking over-the-counter cough and cold preparations as they may contain sympathomimetics, which may increase blood pressure and cause nervousness, headache, and insomnia.
