Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Widespread efforts at mosquito control have been successful, with fewer cases of malaria being reported each year. However, the rise of insecticide-resistant mosquitoes has allowed malaria to continue to flourish, increasing the incidence of the disease. Malaria requires a host to live, whether it is human or mosquito. Only the female Anopheles mosquito harbors the protozoal parasite and carries it to humans.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Anticoagulants may react with pentosan polysulfate sodium (Elmiron). This drug has anticoagulant and fibrinolytic effects, which could lead to potential or increased bleeding risks. Antihypertensives, diuretics, and cardiac glycosides do not cause drugdrug interactions with pentosan polysulfate sodium (Elmiron).
