Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Nausea, vomiting, dyspepsia, and anorexia are associated with direct effects of the antimalarial medications on the GI tract and the effects on central nervous system control of vomiting caused by the products of cell death and protein changes. Adverse effects from antimalarial drugs do not usually include hematemesis, tarry stool, or tachycardia.

Answer to Question 2

D
