Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Herpes simplex is a viral infection, so an antiviral such as acyclovir is warranted. Antibiotics such as ampicillin and cephtriaxone are not used. Hydroxyzine is for itching.

ANS: D
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a developmental respiratory disorder that affects preterm newborns due to lack of lung surfactant. The other substances are not related to this disorder.
