Answer to Question 1

C
Aspirin at the dosage of 325 mg every other day or 81 mg daily is effective in reducing the incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke. Concomitant use of an NSAID with aspirin has been shown to reduce the cardioprotective effects of aspirin. However, naproxen does not appear to have this risk.

Answer to Question 2

A
Each day a child should receive 1 g of fiber per year of age plus 5 g after 2 years of age.
