Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Flushing, headache, nausea, sweating, and vomiting may occur if alcohol is ingested with metronidazole. This reaction is unlikely attributable to an allergy, since he has been taking the drug for 4 days. Taking Flagyl on an empty stomach or with antihistamines would not likely have this effect.

Answer to Question 2

C
