Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Tinidazole is prescribed for trichomoniasis, which is transmitted during sexual intercourse. The drug should not be used when there is a history of alcohol use. Alcohol use could interfere with the drug's metabolism in the liver and cause toxicity and patients should be warned to avoid consuming all alcoholic beverages while taking this medication. There is no need to question about working conditions unless transmission involved environmental contamination of food and water, which is not indicated by the question. A recent visit to a beach or desert would be indicated if the patient was diagnosed with leishmaniasis and questioning the patient concerning AIDS would be indicated if the patient had a diagnosis of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and would not involve trichomonas.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
If a single step in one of the many enzyme systems is blocked, normal cell function is disrupted. Cell life and cell membrane may be impacted by disruption of some enzymes but not all enzymes. Receptor sites would not be disrupted by disruption in a single step in the enzyme system.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
