Answer to Question 1

A
Azithromycin does not interact with other CYP 3A medications. Erythromycin and clarithromycin do.

Answer to Question 2

D
The patient is having symptoms of major depression, but other factors such as drug or alcohol abuse that may be contributing to the diagnosis must be ruled out first. Patients should be asked about suicidal ideation so that measures can be taken to prevent a suicide attempt. Symptoms of major depression require treatment. Exercise should be a part of any plan but should not be the only intervention.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
