Answer to Question 1

B
Cyclosporine and tacrolimus are the most effective immunosuppressants available.

Answer to Question 2

B
Patients taking dalfopristin/quinupristin should have blood levels measured twice the first week and then weekly thereafter to assess for hepatotoxicity. Joint and muscle pain are not an indica-tion for withdrawing the drug. There is no cross-sensitivity to penicillin. The drug is given intra-venously over a period of at least 1 hour.
