Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
There are few adverse effects associated with histamine2-receptor antagonists, although dizzi-ness, somnolence, headache, confusion, and hallucinations have been noted. Diarrhea is the most common GI adverse effect.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Histamine2-receptor antagonists heal more than 90 of duodenal ulcers and more than 70 of gastric ulcers in 4 to 6 weeks when dosing recommendations are followed.
