Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Patients using either finasteride or dutasteride cannot donate blood for 6 months after the last dose to protect potential blood recipients from exposure to the testosterone blocking effects. The use of the drug dutasteride will not cause this patient to develop malignant hyperthermia, malignant hypertension, or severe hypotension during blood donation.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The larvae penetrate the skin and then enter the blood and within about a week, reach the intestine. Inhalation, ingestion, and blood-borne exposure are incorrect.
