Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Children or teenagers with influenza or chickenpox should not take salicylates, particularly aspirin, because their use appears to be associated with Reye's syndrome, a life-threatening condition characterized by vomiting and lethargy progressing to coma. Even though salicylates need to be administered with caution in patients with hepatic dysfunction, high blood pressure, and diabetes, their use does not lead to Reye's syndrome.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Aspirin is used to decrease the risk of myocardial infarction in patients with unstable angina or previous myocardial infarction. Diflunisal, magnesium salicylate, and acetaminophen do not significantly decrease the risk of myocardial infarction.
