Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Nematode are roundworms such as the commonly encountered pinworm, whipworm, threadworm, Ascaris, or hookworm that cause a common helminthic infection in humans and can cause intestinal obstruction as the adult worms clog the intestinal lumen or severe pneumonia when the larvae migrate to the lungs and form a pulmonary infiltrate. Options A, B, and D are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Pentosan polysulfate sodium should be taken on an empty stomach, either 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals. The patient should call the physician at the first sign of bleeding. Alopecia and headache may occur with this medication.
