Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Drugs that cause photosensitivity make sunburn more likely, so patients should stay out of the sun, wear protective clothing, and use sunscreen with an SPF greater than 15. It is not necessary to wear sunglasses indoors.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Naloxone is a narcotic antagonist, meaning that it reverses the effects of morphine by blocking morphine receptor sites.
