Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Chloroquine should be taken with meals to reduce gastrointestinal (GI) upset; small frequent meals may also reduce negative GI effects. Taking medications, any medication, with adequate amounts of water is always good practice but not specific to this medication. There is no indication that ingestion of orange juice makes any practical difference.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Phentolamine is used during surgery for pheochromocytoma in children. Prazosin is used to treat hypertension in children. Propranolol and guanethidine are not indicated for use in children with a pheochromocytoma.
