Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Mebendazole is available in the form of a chewable tablet that would be preferable for a young child. Because little of the drug is absorbed systemically, it is safe for children and has few adverse effects, thus making it safer to administer to a child. Pyrantel is not approved for children younger than 2 years old. Ivermectin and praziquantel effects are systemic and would a greater number of adverse effects.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Discontinuing hydantoins could result in status epilepticus so that drugs should be withdrawn, or added to the medication regimen, carefully to avoid danger. An abrupt withdrawal of antiseizure medications would not precipitate hypertensive crisis, dysrhythmias, or respiratory arrest.
