Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Superinfections often occur with antibiotic use because the drug kills normal bacterial flora. This is not a result of toxic levels of the antibiotic, but rather an effect of the medication that has killed normal flora, which it is designed to do. Vaginal itching and a clear discharge are not considered adverse effects of an antibiotic. An overdose of a drug that damages more than one body systems is considered drug poisoning.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Schizophrenia, the most common psychosis, is characterized by delusions, hallucinations, and inappropriate responses to stimuli. As a result, the patient may be unable to provide a coherent history and may be unaware of his behaviors considered dysfunctional. There is no reason to suspect the patient cannot speak and reducing anxiety is not the priority rationale for including family. While family is included in treatment, the goal is to treat the patient and not make the family feel better if actions were not in the patient's best interests.
