Answer to Question 1

D
Chlamydia is best treated with a single dose of azithromycin for patients having a compliance problem. Doxycycline requires a 7-day course of therapy and may not be best given this patient's history. Erythromycin is indicated to manage the disease in pregnant women. Diflucan is an an-tifungal medication used in the management of candidiasis.

Answer to Question 2

A
The three types of bariatric surgery are restrictive, malabsorptive, and restrictive/malabsorptive. Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding is performed by placing an inflatable band around the fundus of the stomach and is considered restrictive. This procedure may be performed laparos-copically. The band is inflated and deflated via a subcutaneous port to change the size of the stomach as the patient loses weight.
