Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
For pregnant women, taking pyridoxine (vitamin B6) 30 to 75 mg daily in three divided doses with or without the antihistamine doxylamine 12.5 mg every 8 hours as needed is considered a first-line treatment option that is safe and effective. Phenergan is not a first-line treatment for morning sickness. Benadryl and vitamin E are not used to treat nausea.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
When chloroquine is combined with alcohol, the risk of GI distress increases. There is no particular need for this patient to avoid soy, dietary fat, or unpeeled vegetables.
