Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Even in the low doses used in rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis, methotrexate may cause hepatotoxicity. Consequently, many clinicians recommend serial liver biopsies for patients on long-term, low-dose methotrexate. This drug is not closely associated with bleeding disorders, MI, or stroke.
