Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Combining nondepolarizing NMJ blockers with aminoglycosides can result in prolonged paralysis, and this combination should be avoided. This interaction does not occur with barbiturate anesthetics, cephalosporins, or aminophylline.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, E
Feedback:
A saliva substitute helps in conditions that result in dry mouthstroke, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and other illnesses. Patients with myocardial infarction do not require this drug. Patients with cystic fibrosis receive pancreatic enzymes rather than saliva substitute.

Did you know?

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

Did you know?

Before a vaccine is licensed in the USA, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviews it for safety and effectiveness. The CDC then reviews all studies again, as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians. Every lot of vaccine is tested before administration to the public, and the FDA regularly inspects vaccine manufacturers' facilities.

The first monoclonal antibodies were made exclusively from mouse cells. Some are now fully human, which means they are likely to be safer and may be more effective than older monoclonal antibodies.
