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.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
