Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

2,3,4,5
Rationale: A wide array of nonopioid medications from several pharmacological classes has been shown to improve pain control when used concomitantly with pain medications. Their use may enhance the effectiveness of other classes of drugs, improving the treatment of pain at lower doses and decreasing the risk of side effects. Medications in this class do not include antiemetics.
