Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Aminoglycosides can inhibit neuromuscular transmission, especially during intraperitoneal or intrapleural instillation, and this risk is increased when neuromuscular blocking agents and general anesthetics are given. Calcium can reverse neuromuscular blockade. Amphotericin B, additional neuromuscular blockers, and vancomycin are not indicated.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, E
Linezolid is indicated for CAP caused by PCN-sensitive strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae, nosocomial pneumonia caused by MSSA and MRSA, and vancomycin-resistant enterococcal (VRE) infections. It is not recommended for M. avium infections or for superficial skin infections caused by MRSA.
