Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The primary use for amantadine is prophylaxis against influenza A. Acyclovir is used to treat herpes virus. Oseltamivir phosphate (Tamiflu) is to be taken once flu symptoms appear.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Rimantadine is used for treatment of influenza. Amantadine is used primarily for prophylaxis, and this patient already has symptoms. The influenza vaccine may be given later to protect against other strains. Over-the-counter medications may be used as adjunct treatment.
