Answer to Question 1

B
Bile acid sequestrants are taken by mouth and work directly on dietary fats in the intestinal tract. They bind with cholesterol in the intestine, preventing fats from being absorbed into the blood. This action then eliminates the cholesterol from the body through the stool and also is likely to change the general activity of the intestinal tract, leading to intestinal side effects.

Answer to Question 2

C
Drugs for insomnia should not be taken unless there is adequate time to sleep (4 to 8 hours). In-adequate time for sleep can cause side effects including drowsiness or adverse effects such as amnesia. This is especially important when the patient needs to be alert.
