Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The use of bile acid resins is contraindicated with partial or complete biliary obstruction. Exercise caution when using them in patients with steatorrhea or pre-existing constipation. Bile acid resins tend to cause bloating, nausea, indigestion, flatulence, and constipation.

ANS: C
Gemfibrozil is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of pa-tients with triglyceride levels exceeding 750 mg/dL.
