Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Iodine solution is used for the treatment of open wounds and abrasions.
Iodine tincture is used when the skin is intact.
Povidone-iodine is less effective than other iodine preparations and is primarily used for prophylaxis of postoperative infection. It also is used for hand washing and surgical scrubs.
Glutaraldehyde is not an iodine.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Valacyclovir, acyclovir, and famciclovir all reduce the likelihood of transmission, but valacyclovir has the best effects.
Although acyclovir and famciclovir can reduce the likelihood of transmission of genital herpes, they are not as efficacious as valacyclovir.
Tobramycin is not used in the treatment of genital herpes.
