Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The most fundamental change in the gastrointestinal tract during pregnancy is the increased ab-sorption of the nutrients needed by the developing fetus. Gastric motility and tone are decreased during pregnancy because of the smooth muscle relaxation effects of progesterone. These chang-es result in delayed gastric emptying, prolonged drug absorption, and lower peak drug concentra-tions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Drug misuse, the use of a drug for the wrong purpose, is often the result of inaccurate self-diagnosis. In addition, the administration of a drug in situations in which contraindications are misunderstood or not recognized contributes to drug misuse.
