Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
If there is bacterial resistance to isoniazid, the first phase may be changed to ethambutol, rifampin, and pyrazinamide. Ciprofloxacin, kanamycin, and streptomycin are not generally first-line antitubercular drugs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Personal contact with a person having a diagnosis of tuberculosis is required to indicate prophylactic treatment with antitubercular therapy. Attending the same school does not necessarily mean close contact occurs. Health care professionals do not need prophylactic treatment. HIV-positive individuals with negative TB skin tests do not need prophylaxis.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
