Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Carmustine is an example of a nitrosourea. Busulfan, thiotepa, and cisplatin are alkylating agents.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Leucovorin is given as an antidote to methotrexate to reduce its toxic effects. Mesna is given when cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide are used to prevent hemorrhagic cystitis. Cyclosporine is an immunosuppressant used to treat graft-versus-host disease after hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Nystatin is used to treat mucositis or systemic fungal infection.
