Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Chloroquine is used mainly for its antimalarial effects. When used as an amebicide, the drug is effective in extraintestinal amebiasis, but usually ineffective in intestinal amebiasis. Treatment is usually combined with an intestinal amebicide. Metronidazole is an intestinal amebicide. Iodoquinol is an iodine compound that acts against amebae in the intestinal lumen. Metyrosine is an enzyme inhibitor. Carbamazepine is an antiseizure medication.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Lindane is applied topically, and substantial amounts are absorbed through intact skin. Central nervous toxicity has been reported with excessive use. The application of Lindane will not cause irritation, rash, or inflammation. The application of Lindane will not cause headaches, dizziness, or diarrhea. The application of Lindane will not lead to anorexia or cachexia.
