Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Acyclovir is used to treat genital herpes, in which it decreases viral shedding and the duration of skin lesions and pain. Acyclovir does not decrease testosterone or libido. Acyclovir is used to treat viral, not bacterial, infections.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Salicylism, toxicity due to salicylates that may be associated with chronic use, is characterized by dizziness, tinnitus, difficulty hearing, and mental confusion. Ibuprofen overdose will cause gastric mucosal damage. Caffeine overdose will produce tachycardia.
