Answer to Question 1

B
Flumazenil can reverse signs and symptoms of benzodiazepine overdose. Buprenorphine, nal-mefene, and naloxone are all used to treat opioid addiction or toxicity.

Answer to Question 2

B
Besides reducing nausea and vomiting, metoclopramide also reverses gastric stasis and improves absorption of oral antimigraine drugs. When aspirin-like analgesics are combined with metoclo-pramide, they may work as well as sumatriptan. Metoclopramide is not used to induce sleep. It does not prevent gastric irritation or prolong the effects of the aspirin.
