Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Oral vancomycin is useful only to treat staphylococcal enterocolitis and pseudomembranous colitis caused by C. difficile. These illnesses are always characterized by diarrhea, not vomiting, skin inflammation, or shortness of breath.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Studies have demonstrated no evidence for HRT in secondary prevention of heart disease and showed increased rates of CHD, thromboembolic stroke, venous thromboembolism, dementia, and breast cancer, which outweigh the benefits of decreased risk of fracture and colon cancer. Mood disturbances and COPD were not significant factors.
