Answer to Question 1

D
People who do not show lipid profile improvement after following a low-fat diet for 3 months often have a genetic factor that leads to familial hyperlipidemia. This tends to run in families and requires antilipidemic drugs to lower blood lipid levels. Telling the patient that a drug is defi-nitely required may be correct in this case, but it does not address the patient's question.

Answer to Question 2

B
Celecoxib is similar to the class of antibiotics known as sulfa drugs. An allergic reaction to celecoxib is more likely if the patient is also allergic to sulfa drugs.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
