Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Currently, the most commonly used therapy for gastric ulcers is a combination of antibiotics and proton pump inhibitors that suppress or eradicate Helicobacter pylori. H2 receptor antagonists are used to treat duodenal ulcers. Bicarbonate salts are not used. ZES is the abbreviation for ZollingerEllison syndrome and not a drug.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Zoledronic acid should be used cautiously in aspirin-sensitive asthmatic patients. Gastrointestinal (GI) distress may increase if bisphosphonates are combined with aspirin; this combination should, therefore, be avoided if possible. There is no drug interaction between theophylline and zoledronic acid or between digoxin and zoledronic acid. A history of diarrhea would not impact the ability to administer zoledronic acid.
