Answer to Question 1

C
Myopianearsightedne ss.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
When kidney function is reduced, the biological half-life can increase as much as 40 and increase the risk of adverse drug reactions. Reabsorption into the blood and kidney filtration is decreased in this patient, and there is no reason to think the dosage was increased.
