  These lesions usually respond well to oral antiviral medications.
  C)
  Treatment of this problem is usually successful, but if untreated, it can lead to sterility.

Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Molluscum contagiosum is considered a benign and self-limiting viral illness. Oral antivirals are not a common treatment, and it is not noted to lead to sterility.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Pain control is central to treatment of endometriosis, and surgical treatment is ideally performed laparoscopically, though hysterectomy is sometimes indicated. Bleeding is not a common symptom of endometriosis, and neither corticosteroids nor male androgens are common treatments.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

Cataract surgery is very successful in restoring vision, and it is the most frequently performed surgery in the United States.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
