Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The inhibitory effects of grapefruit juice can last up to 3 days.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The greatest risk of drug-to-drug interactions arises when multiple medications are given to a patient.
The duration of treatment with medications would not pose a risk of serious drug-to-drug interactions.
The dosages of the medications, if calculated and administered correctly, would not be a serious drug-to-drug interaction risk.
The route of administration would not pose the most serious risk of drug-to-drug interactions
