Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The half-life of a drug is the time it takes for the amount of drug in the body to decrease to 1 half the peak level it previously achieved. Option A would occur 2 hours after administration of the drug. Option B would occur at 4 hours. Option C would occur at 6 hours. Option D would occur at 8 hours after the original administration of the drug.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Diarrhea, rotten-egg-smelling stool, and pale and mucous-filled stool are commonly seen. Diarrhea is often accompanied by epigastric distress, weight loss, and malnutrition as a result of the invasion of the mucosa. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect.
