Answer to Question 1

C
Response:
Indomethacin is the drug typically ordered to close a patent ductus arteriosus. Alprostadil would be indicated to maintain the ductus arteriosus temporarily in infants with ductal-dependent congenital heart defects. Heparin would be used for prophylaxis and treatment of thromboembolic disorders, especially after surgery. Sprionolactone would be used to manage edema due to heart failure and to treat hypertension.

Answer to Question 2

A
Response:
Oral contraceptives are used as treatment for PCOS to restore menstrual irregularities and treat acne. Ovulation induction agents such as Clomid are used to induce ovulation. Glucophage is used to improve insulin uptake. Mechanical hair removal methods are used to treat hirsutism.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
