Answer to Question 1

1
Increased levels of anti-DNA antibodies are associated with SLE. Decreased levels are associated with other connective tissue disorders. SLE is associated with decreased levels of total complement, increased levels of antinuclear antibodies, and increased levels of rheumatoid factor.

Answer to Question 2

1
Antidiarrheal agents like Imodium can be given prophylactically or symptomatically on an as-needed basis. Docusate sodium (Colace), lorazepam (Ativan), and haloperidon (Haldol) are not indicated to treat this disorder.
