Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The 83-year-old man with rheumatoid arthritis is most likely to be taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Misoprostol is indicated for prevention of NSAID induced ulcers in adults at high risk for development of gastric ulcers. The other three patients would not be candidates for this drug.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Microorganisms have developed resistance by changing cellular permeability to prevent the drug from entering the cell by altering binding sites on the membranes or on ribosomes so the drug can no longer be accepted and by producing enzymes that deactivate the drug. Microorganisms have not been found to be able to rearrange their DNA to change their membrane structure.
