Answer to Question 1

C
The American College of Clinical Pharmacy recommends against the use of aspirin alone for prophylaxis of VTE. Patients undergoing surgery who are at moderate to high risk for VTE should receive unfractionated heparin or low-molecular-weight heparin, such as enoxaparin. Aspirin may be part of the prophylaxis regimen. Clopidogrel and warfarin are not recommended.

Answer to Question 2

C
Intranasal corticosteroids can cause growth suppression in children. When using intranasal steroids in children, the lowest dosage should be used for the shortest period of time necessary, and growth should be routinely monitored. It is not necessary to evaluate urine, blood pressure, or liver function because of intranasal steroid use.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
