Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
For most cases of helmintic infestation, the patient is considered cured after three stool cultures are negative. Specimens from a patient with fluke infestation should be negative for several months before the patient is considered to be cured.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Two percent of the unabsorbed fraction of the drug is eliminated in the urine, with the remainder eliminated unchanged in feces.
