Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Temazepam (Restoril) is eliminated by conjugation with glucuronide. Thus, temazepam (Restoril) is the drug of choice for patients who are elderly, have liver disease, or are taking drugs that interfere with hepatic drugmetabolizing enzymes. Alprazolam (Xanax) is not administered for insomnia. Clonazepam (Klonopin) is not administered for insomnia. Diazepam (Valium) is not administered for insomnia.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Patients should not take oral ciprofloxacin within 2 hours of eating dairy products, calcium-fortified juices, antacids, zinc, or iron. There is no specific need to avoid fatty foods, grapefruit juice, or high-purine foods.
