Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D, F
Macrolide antibiotics may inhibit the metabolism of benzodiazepines, digoxin, HMG CoA reductase inhibitors, and theophylline, causing accumulation and potential toxicity. NSAIDs and diuretics are not inhibited by macrolide antibiotics.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Good dietary sources of fiber include fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grain foods. There is little fiber in eggs, bacon, and orange juice and much fat and sugar. Although there is fiber in the menu of roast beef, mashed potatoes, corn, and milk as well as a hamburger on a bun, carrot sticks, and potato chips, these are not the best sources of dietary fiber.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
