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.

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.
