Answer to Question 1

C
While taking heparin, patients should avoid contact sports and other activities that may cause injury. Falls, blows to the body or head, headaches that won't go away, or other injuries should be reported to the prescriber right away.

Answer to Question 2

C
Zileutin is a leukotriene inhibitor with rare adverse effects that include liver impairment and allergic reactions.
