Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, D, E
Colchicine must be used with extreme caution in older adults or debilitated patients, patients with impaired renal function, and patients with impaired cardiac function. Colchicine can be used in immunocompromised patients. Patients with psychosis can use colchicine for treatment of gout.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Allopurinol can be used to treat primary gout or gout resulting from antineoplastic therapy. Allopurinol is not effective in treating acute attacks of gouty arthritis or gallstones and will not relieve a gout attack that has already started.
