Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
Feedback:
Lifestyle changes including low-fat diet, exercise, smoking cessation, and stress reduction should be tried before any antihyperlipidemic drug is used. Avoiding alcohol is not indicated as a means to lower serum lipid levels. Although a low sodium diet is a healthy choice, it is not associated with elevating lipid levels.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The gastric acid pump or proton pump inhibitors suppress gastric acid secretion by specifically inhibiting the hydrogenpotassium adenosine triphosphatase (H+,K+-ATPase) enzyme system on the secretory surface of the gastric parietal cells. The statement, The medication inhibits acid secretions, indicates that the patient understands that the medication inhibits acid secretion. This medication does not act as an antibiotic or analgesic, nor will it repair the ulcer.
