Question 1 of 5
All of the following effects are disadvantages of anticancer drugs, EXCEPT:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Depression of angiogenesis. Anticancer drugs aim to inhibit cancer cell growth by targeting specific pathways in cancer cells without affecting normal cells. Angiogenesis is the process of forming new blood vessels to supply nutrients to tumors, so inhibiting angiogenesis is actually a desired effect of anticancer drugs. Choices A, B, and D are disadvantages of anticancer drugs as they can lead to off-target effects, decreased production of healthy blood cells, and weakened immune response, respectively.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following drugs most likely caused the patient's change in mental status and hyponatremia?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Spironolactone. Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic that can cause hyponatremia and mental status changes due to its anti-mineralocorticoid effects. It can lead to increased levels of aldosterone, causing sodium retention and potassium excretion, leading to hyponatremia. Captopril (A) is an ACE inhibitor that does not typically cause hyponatremia. Lovastatin (C) is a statin used for lowering cholesterol and is not known to cause hyponatremia. Triamterene (D) is also a potassium-sparing diuretic, but it is less likely to cause hyponatremia compared to spironolactone.
