Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Ephedrine and ephedra-containing herbal preparations (e.g., ma huang, herbal ecstasy) are often abused as an alternative to amphetamines. The primary clinical manifestation of this adrenergic drug toxicity is severe hypertension, which may lead to headache, confusion, seizures, and intracranial hemorrhage. Vigilant blood pressure monitoring is thus a high priority.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Topical metronidazole is commonly used for rosacea. Oral Mycostatin is not used for rosacea. Oral prednisone is not used for rosacea. Topical hydrocortisone is not used for rosacea.
