Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Most drugs used to treat tuberculosis do not kill the bacterium; rather they control the disease and prevent its spread through various organ systems in the infected patient or to other individuals.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Patients reporting any previous allergy to penicillin may also be allergic to some cephalosporins.
