Answer to Question 1

A, D
Feedback:
The main drugs used in prevention of MAC disease in patients with HIV are the macrolides azithromycin and clarithromycin. Pyrazinamide, Bactrim, and Priftin are not used to treat MAC.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Contraindications to the use of diphenoxylate with atropine include diarrhea caused by toxic materials, microorganisms that penetrate intestinal mucosa (e.g., pathogenic E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella), and antibiotic-associated colitis. Laxative abuse, allergies to aspirin, and the presence of stress do not contraindicate the safe use of Lomotil.
