Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Anthelmintics that are absorbed systemically could cause headache, dizziness, fever, shaking, chills, malaise, pruritus, and loss of hair. Mebendazole and pyrantel are anthelmintics that are not generally absorbed systemically and may cause abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, and pain.

D

The normal conduction route is SA node to AV node to bundle of His to Purkinje fibers. Therefore, options A, B, and C are incorrect.
