Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the use of ciprofloxacin (Cipro) and doxycycline (Vibramycin) in combination for treatment of anthrax. Tetracycline (Sumycin) and erythromycin (Erythrocin) are not approved for the treatment of anthrax. Ampicillin (Principen) and cefepime (Maxipime) are not approved for the treatment of anthrax. Penicillin (Bicillin LA) and vancomycin (Vancocin) are not approved for the treatment of anthrax.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Cutaneous anthrax manifests as small skin lesions that develop and turn into black scabs. Small, fluid-filled vesicles, and later, small skin erosions are not seen with cutaneous anthrax. Large pustules, and later, reddish scabs are not seen with cutaneous anthrax. Ulcerated areas, and later, keloids are not seen with cutaneous anthrax.
