Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
When treating a patient with an anthelmintic drug, the patient should be instructed to follow strict hand washing and hygiene measures as an adjunct in eradicating the worm. Isolation is not necessary and prophylactic treatment is not effective with worms. Anthelmintics are often taken with food to decrease the gastrointestinal (GI) adverse effects.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Carbamazepine increases GABA activity and blocks sodium and calcium channels to stop action potentials. Succinimides reduce electrical activity. Acetazolamides reduce electrical activity and alter sodium and calcium channels. Barbiturates depress conduction in the brainstem and the cortex.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
