Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Multi-drug therapy is the treatment of choice due to the life cycle of the protozoan parasite.
Rationale 2: The treatment of choice is multi-drug therapy.
Rationale 3: Dietary restrictions are not treatment.
Rationale 4: Topical therapy would be ineffective due to the infestation of the parasite in the red blood cells.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: If GI side effects are disturbing, the client may swish the medication and then spit it out. A phenergan suppository is not necessary. Drinking a 7-Up is not necessary. Substituting a tablet form is not necessary.
