Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Ibandronate can be taken daily, monthly, or every 3 months. Taking 150 mg orally once a month on the same day of the month would be correct. If given IV every 3 months, the dose is 3 mg and if taken daily, the dose is 2.5 mg/d. All other options are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
A patient taking antacids should be advised to take the antacid 1 hour before or 2 hours after other oral medications. These tablets are often chewed to increase effectiveness. Limiting fluid intake can result in rebound fluid retention so that patients should be encouraged to maintain hydration. It is not necessary to take an antacid with other drugs, nor with food.
