Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Antiretroviral drug therapy for the pregnant woman reduces perinatal transmission by about two thirds. In general, highly active antiretroviral therapy, or HAART, is safe, with recommended dosage the same as for nonpregnant women.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Tinidazole (Tindamax) will produce a bitter or metallic taste in the mouth. Tinidazole will cause tachycardia as an adverse effect. Tinidazole will cause urinary retention, not urgency. Tinidazole should be administered in one dose, not two doses.
