Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Ivermectin is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and reaches peak plasma levels in 4 hours. It is completely metabolized in the liver with a half-life of 16 hours and excretion is fecal. Options A, C, and D are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Anticholinergic secondary effects include dry mouth, altered taste perception, dysphagia, heartburn, constipation, bloating, paralytic ileus, urinary hesitancy and retention, impotence, blurred vision, cycloplegia, photophobia, headache, mental confusion, nasal congestion, palpitations, decreased sweating, and dry skin. Tachycardia, hyperthermia, and profuse sweating would not be expected findings or consistent with anticholinergic effects and would require further assessment.
