Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Patients who take multiple medications should be advised to bring medications to each clinic visit. Patients may take OTC medications as long as those are included in the list of medications reviewed by the provider. Manufacturers' inserts provide an overwhelming amount of information. Patients should be advised to use only one pharmacy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Older patients who take doses of hydrochlorothiazide between 25 to 50 mg/day have increased risk of electrolyte imbalances, so potassium should be monitored closely.
