Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Do not crush tablets (enteric coated). Do not administer within 1 h of milk or antacid, because enteric coating may dissolve, resulting in abdominal cramping and vomiting.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Presently, nonpharmacologic measures (wearing a supportive bra 24 hr/day for 10 to 14 days, breast binding, and axillary ice packs) are recommended for lactation suppression.
