Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The patient should be advised to avoid drinking alcohol while taking this medication, because it may cause a disulfiram-like reaction. Darkening of the urine may occur but does not warrant discontinuing the drug. The drug is mutagenic for fetuses and should be avoided before and/or during pregnancy. Vertigo and headaches are side effects but are not signs of toxicity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
This child has symptoms of scabies, and permethrin is the first treatment of choice. Benzyl alcohol is used to treat head lice. Ivermectin is an oral medication that can be used but is not a first-line treatment. Malathion is used for lice.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
