Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
Feedback:
The most common adverse effects associated with antihemophilic agents involve risks associated with the use of blood products (e.g., in a patient with hepatitis or AIDS). Patients with hemophilia should also be monitored for anemia secondary to blood loss. There is no associated risk for infection or cardiomyopathy.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The cephalosporins are primarily metabolized in the liver and excreted in urine. These drugs cross the placenta and enter breast milk. They are not excreted through the lungs, liver, or skin.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
