Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Most chemotherapeutic agents work by interfering with the cell's ability to multiply or reproduce. Cytoxan interferes with DNA replication.

Answer to Question 2

Chlamydia is considered a sexually transmitted disease (STD). As such it requires further testing and a sexual history to advise the sexual partners.
