Answer to Question 1

A, B, E
Linezolid is indicated for CAP caused by PCN-sensitive strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae, nosocomial pneumonia caused by MSSA and MRSA, and vancomycin-resistant enterococcal (VRE) infections. It is not recommended for M. avium infections or for superficial skin infections caused by MRSA.

Answer to Question 2

C
Rosuvastatin reaches abnormally high levels in people of Asian heritage. Consequently, serum drug levels must be monitored closely. Asian patients may require lower than usual doses. Renal toxicity does not occur. Yellow skin and sclera occur with hepatotoxicity and are a cause for concern.
