Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Bromocriptine is indicated for use in patients with infertility associated with hyperprolactinemia and pituitary adenomas. Oligospermia, if caused by elevated prolactin levels, may also be treated with bromocriptine. Sperm count increases when elevated prolactin levels are corrected.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Tocolytics are given between 24 and 32 weeks' gestation to stop uterine contractions for 24 to 48 hours. This allows enough time to give corticosteroids to the mother, which hasten fetal lung maturation and reduce the incidence of respiratory distress in the newborn.

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.
