Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Erythromycin and other macrolides should not be given intramuscularly because they cause painful tissue irritation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
High doses of macrolides, when taken with other, potentially hepatotoxic drugs such as acetaminophen may cause hepatotoxicity, so liver enzymes should be carefully monitored.
