Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
In about 25 of patients with asthma, aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can precipitate an asthma attack. The patient is experiencing a hypersensitivity reaction. The patient is not experiencing hypoglycemia or a myocardial infarction.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
People with inactive or latent TB have no symptoms and do not feel sick. The transmission of the infection occurs when an uninfected person inhales infected airborne particles that are exhaled by an infected person. Primary infection occurs 6 to 8 weeks after exposure. The patient has a mild, pneumonia-like illness that often is undiagnosed. Active tuberculosis is a result from reactivation of a latent infection.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
