Answer to Question 1

C
Medications for ED will have little or no effect on erection quality or duration in otherwise healthy men who do not have ED. These medications will not cause priapism in otherwise healthy men.

Answer to Question 2

D
Amoxicillin and ampicillin are similar in structure and actions but differ primarily in acid stability. Amoxicillin is more acid stable and, when administered orally, results in higher blood levels than can be obtained with equivalent doses of ampicillin. The two drugs have the same spectrum, both are inactivated by beta-lactamases, and both can cause allergic reactions.
