Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Salicylism can occur with high dosage of aspirin. Dizziness, ringing in the ears, difficulty hearing, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, mental confusion, and lassitude can occur. This combination of adverse effects is not associated with anakinra toxicity, ibuprofen toxicity, or acetaminophen toxicity.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Class I, III, and IV agents should not be used during lactation; if they are needed, another method of feeding the baby should be used. This leaves only class II drugs for consideration if the mother is lactating.
