Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Difenoxin and diphenoxylate are chemically related to meperidine and are used at doses that decrease gastrointestinal activity without having analgesic or respiratory effects.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Most penicillins are rapidly absorbed from the GI tract, reaching peak levels in 1 hour. Although amoxicillin is less expensive, that fact has far less impact on choosing the proper antibiotic than the effectiveness of the drug. Most oral antibiotics for children are available in pleasant tasting syrups so taste would not be a factor. Ampicillin is often given up to 4 times a day so it actually has a frequent dosing schedule.
