Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The most common effect associated with sulfonamides is hypersensitivity, including skin erup-tions, urticaria, pruritus, photosensitivity, periorbital edema, and erythema multiforme.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Quinolones enhance the action of warfarin, so prothrombin time would be prolonged, and close monitoring of prothrombin time (PT) and international normalized ratio (INR) levels is warrant-ed. Levofloxacin used concomitantly with warfarin may cause QT prolongation.
