Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Pyrantel is administered orally as a single dose. Albendazole is prescribed for hydatid disease and is given twice a day for 8 to 30 days of treatment. Mebendazole is used in the treatment of diseases caused by pinworms, roundworms, whipworms, and hookworms and is given in a morning and evening dose for 3 days. Praziquantel is used to treat schistosomes and is taken in three doses as a 1-day treatment.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Cinoxacin should be used with caution in the presence of renal dysfunction, which could interfere with the excretion and action of this drug. The patient's having asthma, hypertension, or diabetes mellitus would not be a contraindication to the use of this drug.
