Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Patients receiving pancreatic enzymes should be taught to avoid spilling the powder on the skin because it can be very irritating. The enzymes should be taken with food and are often in a powder form. Pancreatin and pancrelipase are not interchangeable.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Without knowing the name of the antibiotic and how it works to treat N. gonorrhoeae, the only thing that can be said is that it is a narrow-spectrum anti-infective because it only treats one specific organism. Broad-spectrum anti-infectives treat multiple organisms. The name of the drug and how it works would need to be known to determine whether it is bacteriocidal or bacteriostatic.
