Answer 1

This answer would be C

Answer 2

Answer:

D. Medication interactions are a concern.

Explanation:

With the launch of new drugs and the clinical practice of polypharmacy, the capacity of health professionals to meet patients' demands is increased, but the combined use of drugs is increased, resulting in adverse events of great importance for the clinical outcome.

The interaction between medications can be very harmful and even fatal to the patient, so the physician should always review the patient's medication list to find medications that cannot be taken together and to ensure the patient's health and safety.
