Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Bulk-forming laxatives such as psyllium are safe for use during pregnancy, as are stimulant laxa-tives and stool softeners.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is classified as a category B drug, meaning that no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women have shown adverse effects to the fetus, although studies in animals may or may not have done so. Acetaminophen is often used short-term during pregnancy although high doses during the first trimester may result in severe fetal liver damage.
