Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Narcolepsy is a neurological sleep disorder, not the result of mental illness or psychological problems. It is most likely due to a number of genetic abnormalities, but family history is not noted to be highly significant.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Because it is a salicylate, this drug can cause serious bleeding problems when used alone in patients with ulcers. People with an allergy to aspirin or other salicylates should not take bismuth subsalicylate. The patient's bowel pattern, immunization history, and cognition are not central considerations.
