Answer to Question 1

B, C, D
Carbenicillin is an extended-spectrum penicillin medication. It interferes with the effectiveness of oral birth control medication and warfarin and should not be given to people allergic to penicillin. Age and a history of hypertension are not contraindications to carbenicillin.
