Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Directly observed therapy in which a health care provider observes the patient taking each dose of anti-TB drugs is recommended for all drug regimens and is considered mandatory in this case. The medications are not administered parenterally. The family should be instructed on the medication regime, but this action is not imperative in maintaining compliance. Tablets missing from the bottle may not necessarily have been taken correctly by the patient.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
When multiple eye drops are required, there should be an interval of 5 to 10 minutes between drops. The drops should not be as close as 1 minute. The drops will not need to be separated by 15 to 20 minutes.
