Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The patient has shown some improvement, so she should keep using the product if she wants to maintain the results, since stopping treatment will result in hair loss in a few months. Finasteride and 5 minoxidil are not approved for women.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
This patient has contact dermatitis related to contact with a chemical. Topical glucocorticoids may be used for the itching. Calamine lotion may contain diphenhydramine and is used mainly for contact with plant irritants. A topical diphenhydramine is not recommended because of an increased risk of allergic reaction to systemic diphenhydramine. Systemic glucocorticoids are used for more severe reactions.

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.
