Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The percentage of bioavailability for the oral route is always less than 100, but for the intravenous route it is usually 100.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
When two highly protein-bound drugs are given concurrently, they compete for protein-binding sites, causing more free drug to be released into the circulation. Drug accumulation and possible drug toxicity can result.
