Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The antiacne effects of isotretinoin include suppression of sebum production, inhibition of comedone formation, and inhibition of inflammation. The drug does not stimulate immune function or reduce the function of sweat glands.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The azoles may cause hepatotoxicity, and the development of jaundice usually accompanies liver damage, which may necessitate discontinuing the drug. Fluconazole is not associated with weight gain, anemia, or hematuria.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
