Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Misoprostol is contraindicated during pregnancy because it is an abortifacient. Women of childbearing age who use misoprostol should be advised to use barrier-type contraceptives. All other options are correct but are not a priority for this patient.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Nondepolarizing neuromuscular junction blockers compete with acetylcholine (ACh) for the ACh receptor site and after they occupy the site, stimulation cannot occur. This results in paralysis because the muscle cannot respond. Other options are incorrect.
