Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Palifermin is a recombinant human keratinocyte growth factor approved specifically for preventing and treating the mucositis that develops in leukemia or lymphoma patients undergoing chemotherapy before bone marrow transplantation. Amlexanox paste is used to treat canker sores. Docosanol is used to treat cold sores. Nystatin is used to treat thrush.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Two percent viscous lidocaine is used as a topical anesthetic for pain associated with oral inflammation. Care must be taken so that the patient does not accidentally burn himself or herself because the drug anesthetizes the entire mouth and throat. Chlorhexidine, nystatin, and hydrogen peroxide are not local anesthetics.
