Answer to Question 1

B
Flumazenil can reverse signs and symptoms of benzodiazepine overdose. Buprenorphine, nal-mefene, and naloxone are all used to treat opioid addiction or toxicity.

Answer to Question 2

B
Besides reducing nausea and vomiting, metoclopramide also reverses gastric stasis and improves absorption of oral antimigraine drugs. When aspirin-like analgesics are combined with metoclo-pramide, they may work as well as sumatriptan. Metoclopramide is not used to induce sleep. It does not prevent gastric irritation or prolong the effects of the aspirin.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
