Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Currently, doxycycline and minocycline are considered the antibiotics of choice for treatment of moderate to severe acne.
Amoxicillin and azithromycin are not indicated for treatment of moderate to severe acne.
Although tretinoin is used to treat acne, it is a retinoid, not an antibiotic.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The patient must begin using birth control measures at least 1 month prior to initiation of therapy and for 1 month after stopping therapy; this statement indicates that further teaching is needed.
These responses are consistent with the iPLEDGE program; further teaching is not needed.
