Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Pepto-Bismol has aspirin in it and should not be given to a patient with an allergy to aspirin. There is no contraindication for a patient with rheumatoid arthritis, hypertension, or viral gastroenteritis.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Tetracycline should be taken on an empty stomach 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals with a full 8 ounces of water to ensure full absorption. Tetracycline is usually taken at least once every 12 hours. Checking the pulse and holding the dose if below 60 bpm is an action specific to the use of cardiac glycosides.
