Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
This family most likely has giardiasis, which can be acquired by drinking contaminated water. Metronidazole is the drug of choice for this infection. Iodoquinol is used for asymptomatic amebiasis. Miltefosine and sodium stibogluconate are used to treat leishmaniasis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Cough and bronchospasm are the most common adverse reactions associated with inhaled pentamidine. These reactions can be controlled with an inhaled bronchodilator. Reducing the rate of the inhalation treatment or discontinuing the treatment is not an appropriate action. Doing nothing is not sufficient when the patient is having trouble breathing.
