Answer to Question 1

1
Zantac is a histamine H2-receptor antagonist. This medication is not classified as being a proton pump inhibitor, prokinetic agent, or antihistamine.

Answer to Question 2

Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is spread through the fecal-oral route. Child care workers are at greater risk because of potentially poor hygiene practices. Child care workers are not at the same risk for contracting hepatitis B, C, or D.
