Answer to Question 1

Ans: A

Moderate to severe cases of pseudomembranous colitis may require treatment with intravenous (IV) fluids and electrolytes, protein supplementation, and treatment with drugs such as fidaxomicin (Dificid) to eliminate the microorganism. Metronidazole is used to treat infections involving anaerobic organisms. Norfloxacin and moxifloxacin are fluoroquinolones and would not be used.

Feedback:
Ethambutol, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and rifampin are considered primary drugs in the treatment of TB. Levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin are considered secondary drugs.
