Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Activated charcoal is the most common treatment for many poisonings and is more effective and safe than induced vomiting or gastric lavage. Rehydration is likely necessary, but this does not actively treat the girl's poisoning.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
While all drugs carry some risk of adverse effects, the use of benzodiazepines and antiepileptics are more predicative of falls than are other drug families.
