Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
To prevent the accumulation of anti-infective drugs in the kidneys, which can damage the kidney, patients taking anti-infective drugs should be well hydrated. Decreasing the dosage will likely reduce the therapeutic action and increase risk of resistance. There is no evidence of association between caffeine intake and drug accumulation in the kidney. Decreasing activity and increasing fruits and vegetables in the diet would not be effective in decreasing drug accumulation.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Adults who require thyroid replacement therapy need to understand that this will be a lifelong need. An established routine of taking the tablet first thing in the morning may help the patient comply with the drug regimen. The drug should be taken on an empty stomach with a full glass of water. Antacids would slow or prevent absorption of the hormone replacement, so the patient should be corrected.
