Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2,3,4
Rationale 1: Interferons do not have antifungal properties.
Rationale 2: Interferons have antiviral properties and aid in the fight against disease.
Rationale 3: Interferons have anti-inflammatory properties and aid in the fight against inflammatory processes such as multiple sclerosis.
Rationale 4: Interferons have antineoplastic properties and aid in the fight against cancer.
Rationale 5: Interferons do not have antibiotic properties.
Global Rationale: IFNs are part of the nonspecific defense system. Their actions slow the spread of viral infections, stimulate the activity of existing leukocytes, increase phagocytosis, and enhance the cytotoxic ability of T cells. In addition to their antiviral actions, IFNs have antineoplastic and anti-inflammatory properties. They do not have antifungal or antibiotic properties.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,3
Rationale 1: Acetylcysteine is administered in the three-bag method.
Rationale 2: Acetylcysteine is not administered rectally.
Rationale 3: Acetylcysteine can be administered orally.
Rationale 4: Acetylcysteine is not administered intramuscularly.
Rationale 5: Acetylcysteine is not administered subcutaneously.
Global Rationale: Acetaminophen overdose is treated with oral or IV acetylcysteine (Acetadote). For maximum effectiveness, the antidote should be administered within 8 hours of acetaminophen ingestion. The IV form (Acetadote) is administered by the three-bag method.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
