Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, E
A patient taking doxycycline should take the medication 2 days prior to departure and for 4 weeks upon returning from the endemic region.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The nurse should screen the students for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, because hemolysis is most likely to occur in individuals likely to have this condition, such as black populations and darker skinned Caucasians, such as Sardinians, Greeks, Iranians, and Sephardic Jews.
There are no indications to screen for Celiac sprue, hypothyroidism, or SIDAH.
