Answer to Question 1

B
Some antihistamines, including dimenhydrinate and promethazine, are labeled for use in motion sickness. Promethazine, however, is contraindicated in children under age 2 years and should be used with caution in children older than 2 years because of the risks for severe respiratory de-pression. Desloratadine and hydroxyzine are not used for motion sickness.

Answer to Question 2

C
Aminoglycosides are not effective against anaerobic microbes, so another class of antibiotics is indicated. There is no associated increase in aminoglycoside toxicity with anaerobic infection. The aminoglycoside will not be effective, so continuing to administer this drug is not indicated. Adding another antibiotic is not useful, because the aminoglycoside is not necessary.
