Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,4
Rationale 1: Omeprazole (Prilosec) is enteric-coated and needs to dissolve in the intestine; it should not be crushed or chewed.
Rationale 2: Yogurt may help replace beneficial bacteria, but should not be taken at the same time.
Rationale 3: Omeprazole (Prilosec) is recommended for short-term, not long-term, use.
Rationale 4: Omeprazole (Prilosec) should be administered before meals.
Rationale 5: Omeprazole (Prilosec) should be administered before, not after, meals in order to be most effective.

Answer to Question 2
