Answer 1

A. Sylvia continues taking a prescription medication after she is supposed to stop

Answer 2

A.) Sylvia continues taking a prescription medicine after she is supposed to stop.

Step-by-step explanation:

Drug misuse is not likely to occur if you are taking over the counter (OTC) medication as the bottle directs or taking a prescription as prescribed by the doctor. As such, if the doctor tells a patient to stop taking a prescription medication, they should stop immediately.
