Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The initial dose of Celebrex is twice that of subsequent doses. The medication should not be taken just before a period. It does not need to be taken with food. It is taken as needed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The patient who is taking colchicine should increase fluid intake to promote uric acid excretion and prevent renal calculi. Foods rich in purine should be avoided, including beer, and some sea foods, such as salmon. Gastric irritation is a common problem, so colchicine should be taken with food.
