Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
During an acute attack, initially 0.5 to 1.3 mg of colchicine are administered, followed by 0.6 mg every 1 to 2 hours until pain subsides, or nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea develop. Fever is not associated with gout, and colchicine does not reduce fever. Colchicine does not increase urinary output or frequency or affect erythema.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
There are 2 mg/mL. The patient needs 10 mg. 10 divided by 2 = 5 mL.
