Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Pravastatin is the only statin with outcome data to show effectiveness in decreasing coronary artery disease and incidence of myocardial infarction (MI); it prevents a first MI even in patients who do not have a documented elevated cholesterol level. The other medications do not have any evidence of effectiveness for this patient.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
This drug has been associated with potentially fatal pseudomembranous colitis, which affects the gastrointestinal tract. This drug is not associated with liver, kidney, or nerve toxicity.
