Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
This medication does not need to go through the dissolution phase, so it is more rapidly absorbed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Allopurinol (Zyloprim) increases the effects of warfarin (Coumadin). Allopurinol does not interact with diphenhydramine, metoclopramide, and propranolol.
