Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Rifampin should be taken on an empty stomach, either 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. IV administration is possible, but this takes place as a three-hour infusion, not as a bolus. Rifampin is not administered IM.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Dantrium relieves spasticity by inhibiting the release of calcium in skeletal muscle cells. Lioresal, Soma, and Flexeril act centrally.
