Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The interleukins are produced using deoxyribonucleic acid technology and E. coli bacteria. Patients with known allergy to E. coli products should not receive oprelvekin. The allergies to penicillin, egg products, or lactose intolerance would not be of concern with this drug.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Transdermal nitroglycerin has a long 24-hour duration of action compared with the sublingual form that lasts 30 to 60 minutes or oral tablets that last 8 to 12 hours. Transdermal patches are neither more nor less effective, but rather it is the speed of onset and duration of action that differ.
