Answer to Question 1

A
If the patient returns after more than 3 days and the results appear negative, the test should be repeated.

Answer to Question 2

C
These side effects are considered common minor side effects of sulfonamide medications. They occur with all drugs in this class, so changing to TMP/SMX is not indicated. The patient should continue taking the medication. It is not necessary to perform laboratory tests.
