Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The monoamine oxidase inhibitors are well absorbed from the GI tract, reaching peak levels in 2 to 3 hours. The other time frames are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Ketoconazole is not the drug of choice for patients with endocrine or fertility problems because of its effects on these processes. It is not known whether posaconazole crosses the placenta or enters breast milk, so it should not be used during pregnancy or lactation unless the benefits clearly outweigh the potential risks but has no risk to those with fertility or endocrine problems. Fluconazole and itraconazole would be safe for this patient.

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.
