Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, D, E
Immunomodulators can be used in progressive-relapsing MS, relapsing-remitting MS, and secondary progressive MS but not to prevent MS from developing or to treat primary progressive MS.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Mitoxantrone is given as an infusion once every 3 months. Cardiac side effects may become apparent during treatment or up to years after discontinuation of the drug. Fever, chills, cough, and hoarseness are signs of infection and should be reported immediately. LFTs and a pregnancy test should be done before each infusion.
