Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Antibiotic therapy is not generally a contraindication to the use of vaccines. Vaccines may be given in cases of mild acute illness or during the convalescent phase of an illness. All four vaccines may be given. If the MMR or other live virus vaccine is not given the same day as the varicella vaccine, administration of the two vaccines should be separated by at least 4 weeks. Aspirin should not be given because of the increased risk of Reye's syndrome.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Ritonavir boosting is a mainstay of protease inhibitor therapy and can reduce dosing frequency and pill burden as well as overcome viral resistance. It does not increase the likelihood of elevated cholesterol and triglycerides or insulin resistance and does not lead to increased dietary restrictions.
