Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
P. falciparum malaria does not relapse once a clinical cure has been achieved, so no further treatment is necessary. Although this patient is from the Middle East and is at increased risk for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, genetic testing is unnecessary unless primaquine is given. Because no further treatment is indicated, genetic testing is not necessary. There is no need to use nondrug methods, because the patient is no longer in an area where infection is likely. This form of malaria will not relapse, so there is no need to teach the patient to report new symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
Quinine can cause cinchonism, hemolysis in susceptible patients, and an increased ventricular rate. Mefloquine can cause nightmares and a prolonged QT interval.
