Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Tacrolimus, like cyclosporine, is not well absorbed orally, so it is necessary to give higher oral doses than IV doses to obtain similar blood levels. Increased frequency is not necessarily required. Concurrent dosing with an antiemetic is not required. Regardless of the route by which the drug is provided, the patient needs to be closely monitored for adverse effects.
