Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The most commonly diagnosed intestinal parasite in the United States is Giardiasis. It is transmitted through contaminated water or food. Amebiasis is found in the United States but is not the most common. Leishmaniasis is transmitted through sand flies, which are not common in the United States. Trichomoniasis is a flagellated protozoan and most often is seen in the vagina and is spread during sexual intercourse by men who have no signs and symptoms of infection, it is not the most commonly diagnosed.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Antidepressants should be used very cautiously during pregnancy and lactation because of the potential for adverse effects on the fetus and possible neurological effects on the baby. Use should be reserved for situations in which the benefits to the mother far outweigh the potential risks to the neonate.
