Answer to Question 1

The nurse instructs patients to take aprepitant as prescribed before the onset of nausea and vomiting. It does not need to be taken on a regular schedule and should not be withheld until the onset or peak of symptoms.

Chloramphenicol is metabolized in the liver and excreted in the urine. It is not eliminated in the liver, exhaled through the lungs, or excreted in the bile.
