Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Cyclosporine has a very narrow therapeutic index; therefore, prescribers use serum drug levels to regulate cyclosporine dosing, and close monitoring is necessary. They use blood levels measured 2 hours after a dose for dosage adjustments.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
When administering permethrin for head lice, it is necessary to wear gloves. Administration should occur again in 1 week if lice and nits are present. The cream should be applied to the entire scalp, and there is no need to avoid using shampoo.
