Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Only fosphenytoin is indicated for the treatment of status epilepticus. Carbamazepine is used to treat seizure disorders as well as trigeminal neuralgia and bipolar disorder but it is not indicated for status epilepticus. Clorazepate and ethotoin are used in long-term treatment of partial seizure disorders, alone, or with other antiepileptic drugs but would not be used for status epilepticus.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Pinworms manifestation includes perianal itching, and occasionally, vaginal itching particularly at night when the pinworms are most active around the anal opening. Pinworms do not usually present in any other manner so the other options are incorrect.
