Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
It is very important to monitor for adverse drug effects such as high blood pressure, gallbladder disease, and blood-clotting disorders, which may be associated with oral contraceptive use. Headaches, nausea, and fatigue are not among the more common adverse effects of oral contraceptives.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Suppositories are an effective way of administering medications to infants. They do not require manual clearing of the rectum prior to administration. Suppositories are well absorbed.
