13)ANSWER C
"Dimetane-DC is an opioid antitussive
that contains codeine."
Explanation
Dimetane-DC is an opioid antitussive that
contains codeine, affecting the cough center directly and suppressing the
central nervous system. Dextromethorphan is a nonopioid antitussive that
suppresses the cough reflex directly by affecting the cough center. Recall the
difference between the letters DM and DC after a medication. DC would indicate
that codeine is in the medication. Use of this knowledge will lead to the only
correct option, 4. DM after a medication name does not refer to a narcotic in
the medication. This will allow you to eliminate the other three options.
