Answer to Question 1

D
People who do not show lipid profile improvement after following a low-fat diet for 3 months often have a genetic factor that leads to familial hyperlipidemia. This tends to run in families and requires antilipidemic drugs to lower blood lipid levels. Telling the patient that a drug is defi-nitely required may be correct in this case, but it does not address the patient's question.

Answer to Question 2

B
Celecoxib is similar to the class of antibiotics known as sulfa drugs. An allergic reaction to celecoxib is more likely if the patient is also allergic to sulfa drugs.
