Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Urine tinged red-orange is a normal finding associated with rifampin's adverse effects. Peripheral neuropathy, myopathy, and crystalluria are not manifestations of adverse effects of rifampin.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
Acute cystitis, urethritis, and recurrent UTIs can be treated on an outpatient basis. Severe pyelonephritis and acute bacterial prostatitis require hospitalization and IV antibiotics.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
