Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Crystalluria and kidney stones may occur related to these medications. A brisk urine flow decreases sedimentation. There is no need for this medication to be IV.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Use of sulfonamides leads to bacterial resistance. The trimethoprim prevents this.
