Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Non-European cultural groups such as those of Native American descent have less dependence on time schedules. Disease management will likely focus more on present concerns about alleviating current discomfort and less on measures to promote long-term wellness or treat a chronic illness.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Codeine is normally a category II drug, except when it is part of a combination product such as with acetaminophen, making it a category III drug.
