Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 4, 5

Cefuroxime (Ceftin) is a cephalosporin and must be taken on an empty stomach. Yogurt helps prevent intestinal superinfection, and the entire prescription must be completed in order to be effective. Hearing loss applies to the aminoglycosides. This cephalosporin is not identified as causing alcohol intolerance.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 5
The primary response begins with the initial encounter with an antigen. During initial exposure to an antigen, the antigen is bound to the antibody, which stimulates cell growth, division, and differentiation. Memory B cells and plasma cells are cloned after the initial encounter with the antigen. This allows for a faster reaction the second time the body encounters the antigen. The antigenantibody reaction includes a binding of the antigen (FAB). T cells take part in cellular immunity.
