Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Disulfiram is used to reduce the desire for alcohol by inducing severe nausea and vomiting when a patient ingests alcohol while on this drug. Reactions can be quite severe, and patients must understand the need to avoid all forms of alcohol while taking this medication. Not all cough syrups contain alcohol. Benzodiazepines and aspirin do not react with disulfiram.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Persons dependent on drugs, but who are no longer using drugs illegally and are receiving treatment for chemical dependence, or who have been rehabilitated successfully are protected by the ADA from discrimination on the basis of past drug addiction. The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence is a voluntary health agency dedicated to educating the public about alcoholism. The ATF is a principal law enforcement agency in the U.S. Department of Justice dedicated to preventing terrorism, reducing violent crime, and protecting the United States. The AMA is a professional organization for physicians.
