Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Misoprostol (Cytotec) is used to prevent NSAID gastric ulcer development. The medication can cause spontaneous abortion; thus, the medication should be administered with a good form of birth control. It should not be administered with magnesium antacids. It is not necessary for a patient aged 23 years to report postmenopausal bleeding. The medication should be administered two to four times per day.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Following topical administration of lidocaine, the area becomes numb in 20 to 60 minutes.
