Correct Answer: He needs to drive regularly for work.
Why this is correct: The man says he drives to work every day across downtown Toronto. He needs a medication that will not make him drowsy behind the wheel. Driving safely is his reason for wanting a non-drowsy option.
Why the other options are wrong:
- He is trying to save money.: He does ask about prices, but saving money is not his reason for wanting non-drowsy medication.
- He plans to take the medicine at night.: He does not say he plans to take medication at night.
- He wants faster relief from symptoms.: The customer wants non-drowsy medication because of the daily drive; faster onset is introduced by the pharmacist rather than requested as that reason.
Correct Answer: Once a day.
Why this is correct: The pharmacist says both Reactine and Claritin are taken once a day, usually one tablet. This makes them convenient compared to Benadryl, which is taken every four to six hours.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Every four to six hours.: Every four to six hours is how often Benadryl is taken, not Claritin.
- Only when symptoms are severe.: The provider does not say Claritin is only for severe symptoms.
- Twice a day with meals.: The provider says once a day, not twice a day with meals.
Correct Answer: Benadryl.
Why this is correct: The pharmacist says Benadryl works quickly but often makes people sleepy, whereas Reactine and Claritin are non-drowsy for most people.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Claritin.: Claritin is described as non-drowsy for most people.
- All of them equally.: The provider clearly says drowsiness is mainly a Benadryl issue, not equal across all three.
- Reactine.: Reactine is also described as non-drowsy for most people.
Correct Answer: Visit a doctor or clinic.
Why this is correct: The pharmacist advises the customer to see a family doctor or walk-in clinic if wheezing worsens.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Stop taking medication.: The pharmacist recommends seeing a doctor if wheezing worsens, without advising the customer to stop medication.
- Switch to Benadryl.: The provider does not recommend switching to Benadryl for wheezing.
- Increase the allergy dose.: The provider does not tell him to increase the allergy dose on his own.
Correct Answer: Claritin.
Why this is correct: Claritin is the non-drowsy alternative described as slightly cheaper than Reactine: about 16 dollars rather than 18 for the same quantity.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Benadryl.: Benadryl costs less but is described as often causing sleepiness; it does not satisfy the non-drowsy scope.
- Reactine.: Reactine is the comparison baseline at about 18 dollars, rather than the cheaper alternative.
- They all cost the same.: The three prices differ, so the options do not all cost the same.
Correct Answer: Purchase Reactine.
Why this is correct: The man says Reactine sounds like a good fit. The pharmacist agrees and says it is a sensible choice for someone who needs to stay alert while driving. He is ready to buy the Reactine.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Compare prices at another store.: He does not mention comparing prices at another store. He seems satisfied with the advice.
- Buy Benadryl for quick relief.: The pharmacist advises against Benadryl because of drowsiness, and the man agrees.
- Wait to see a doctor first.: The customer says Reactine sounds like a good fit, without saying a doctor visit must come first.
