Answer to Question 1

A, B
Feedback:
Salicylates and NSAIDs can both inhibit blood clotting resulting in bleeding if not monitored. Gold compounds, acetaminophen, and DMARDs do not have a known impact on blood clotting.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The Food and Drug Administration has begun checking these drugs when they arrive in this country and have found many discrepancies between what was ordered and what is in the product, as well as problems in the storage of these products. Some foreign brand names are the same as brand names in this country but are associated with different generic drugs. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because not all drugs are manufactured the same and they are not always safe coming from another country.
