Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
In the majority of patients, flu-like symptoms (e.g., fever, chills, fatigue, muscle aches, headache, tachycardia) develop within 2 hours of administration of interferon alfa-2b and last up to 24 hours. Diaphoresis, changes in LOC, and changes in oxygenation are not associated with the use of interferon alfa-2b.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Health care providers use ciprofloxacin for the treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in patients with necrotizing otitis externa. If the causative agent is Aspergillus, amphotericin B is the drug of choice. E. coli and Candida are not typically implicated in cases of necrotizing otitis externa.
