A local bioterrorism medical team is learning about germ warfare. The team is instructed that a fluoroquinolone may be used to prevent an outbreak of anthrax infection.
 
  What fluoroquinolone would the nurse be most likely to administer for this purpose? A) Ciprofloxacin (Cipro)
  B) Gemifloxacin (Factive)
  C) Norfloxacin (Noroxin)
  D) Sparfloxacin (Zagam)

Question 2

When a normal muscle functions, several actions take place. In what order do these actions occur?
 
  1 . Acetylcholine (ACh) is broken down by acetylcholinesteras e.
  2 . ACh interacts with the nicotinic cholinergic receptors.
  3 . ACh is released by the motor nerve.
  4 . ACh crosses the synaptic cleft.
  5 . The muscle membrane is depolarized.
  6 . The muscle membrane is repolarized.
 
  Put these actions in the correct order.
  A) 1, 3, 5, 2, 4, 6
  B) 2, 4, 6, 5, 3, 1
  C) 6, 5, 4, 1, 2, 3

Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) is the most widely used fluoroquinolone and is indicated for the prevention of anthrax infection. Gemifloxacin and sparfloxacin are most useful in treating acute episodes of chronic bronchitis and community-acquired pneumonia. Norfloxacin is recommended only for certain types of urinary tract infections.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Normal muscle function involves the arrival of a nerve impulse at the motor nerve terminal, followed by the release of the neurotransmitter, ACh into the synaptic cleft. At the acetylcholine receptor site on the effector side of the synapse, ACh interacts with the nicotinic cholinergic receptors, causing depolarization of the muscle membrane. ACh is then broken down by acetylcholinesteras e (an enzyme), freeing the receptor for further stimulation.
