Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Cholestyramine should be mixed well in fluid for proper absorption. Fluids and a high-fiber diet should be encouraged as this drug may cause constipation. Cholestyramine may cause GI upset and can be taken with food.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Most cholesterol is manufactured at night, so taking simvastatin (Zocor) at night is most effective.
