Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Antivertigo/antiemetic medication such as meclizine hydrochloride (Antivert) is prescribed to reduce the whirling sensation and nausea. HydroDIURIL is a diuretic and would not be used to treat Mnire disease. Valium is a benzodiazepine used for sedation and to treat anxiety. Inapsine is a tranquilizer and not the drug of choice.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
The initial manifestation of retinitis pigmentosa, which is difficulty with night vision, is often noted during childhood. The clinical manifestations that are described do not indicate early macular degeneration, detached retina, or glaucoma.
