Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The active ingredient in OTC sleep aids is a sedating antihistamine, usually diphenhydramine (Benadryl).

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
It is very important to give IV infusions slowly, over 1 to 2 hours, to avoid an adverse reaction characterized by hypotension, flushing, and skin rash. This reaction, sometimes called red man syndrome, is attributed to histamine release.
