Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Causes of ED may include drugs such as antidepressants, antihypertensive agents, and histamine receptor antagonists. Injuries are a rare cause. Addressing the impact of the problem and the patient's perceptions of health are important, but neither question addresses causation.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Rifampin kills Mycobacterium by inhibiting synthesis of RNA. It is metabolized in the liver, but this characteristic does not represent its action. It does not bind to acetylcholine. It does not cause phagocytosis.
