Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The preferred treatment for C. trachomatis during pregnancy is either azithromycin or amoxicillin. Doxycycline can be used for nonpregnant patients. Erythromycin is used for infants. Sulfisoxazole is not recommended for pregnant woman near term, because it can cause kernicterus in the infant.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The most appropriate information about the administration of enfuvirtide is how to reconstitute and self-administer a subcutaneous injection. The medication should never be injected into the same site or just between two sites. Vitamin E is not indicated for this medication. Enfuvirtide does not appear to cause significant drug interactions.
