Answer to Question 1

Awesome job my friend

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
When salicylates are administered along with the varicella vaccine, there is an increased risk of development of Reye's syndrome. It is often associated with children who are given aspirin-containing medicines while they have chickenpox (varicella). Lymphoma, angioneurotic edema, and acute renal failure do not develop with the simultaneous administration of salicylates and the varicella vaccine.
