Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Because of widespread effects on the body tissues and reported adverse reactions, the patient should be instructed to discontinue hormonal contraceptives that contribute to hypertension. The patient should restrict salt but not eliminate salt. The implementation of relaxation techniques is important but not crucial to the current medical regimen.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Interruption or inadequate antimicrobial treatment of infections may also contribute to the emergences of antibiotic-resistant organisms. The administration of an antibiotic with orange juice is not recommended in all instances. The medication does not need to be supplemented with vitamins. Antibiotics need not be administered with dairy products.
