Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Cimetidine is not effective for treating Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. The other medications are used to treat Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Since maximum acid secretion occurs after eating and at bedtime, antacids should be taken 1 to 3 hours after eating and at bedtime. Taking antacids before meals slows gastric emptying time and causes increased gastrointestinal (GI) secretions. Patients should not self-treat constipation or diarrhea. Patients should use 2 to 4 ounces of water when taking to ensure that the drug enters the stomach; more than that will increase GI secretions. Antacids should not be taken with milk or foods high in vitamin D.
