Answer to Question 1

C
Neomycin is used for topical treatment of infections of the eye, ear, and skin. Amikacin, kana-mycin, and paromomycin are not topical treatments and are not indicated for eye infections.

Answer to Question 2

C
Hydroxyzine is a first-generation antihistamine and has sedative effects, so patients should be cautioned not to consume alcohol while taking the drug. In capillary beds, antihistamines reduce edema, itching, and redness. This antihistamine causes sedation. It is not associated with respira-tory depression at therapeutic doses.
