Answer to Question 1

D
Many patients who present with one sexually transmitted disease (STD) have other concomitant STDs. When gonorrhea or urethritis/cervicitis is diagnosed, the NP should treat for both N. gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia. A single-dose treatment ensures compliance. A single, 2-g dose of azithromycin is indicated to treat chancroid. Benzathine penicillin G is indicated to treat syphilis. A 7-day regimen of doxycycline is used to treat Chlamydia, but not gonorrhea.

Answer to Question 2

A
Overuse of pain or migraine medications can cause a transformed migraine, which is a long-lasting headache. Following a migraine episode, the patient has rebound headache daily or nearly daily. NSAIDs, caffeine, opiates, and triptans can cause these rebound headaches. NSAIDs and caffeine are often used to treat migraines. Narcotics and barbiturates increase the risk for development of chronic migraine headaches and should not be first-line drugs.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
