Question 1 of 5
Bisphosphonates are indicated in the following condition:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Certainly! Bisphosphonates are indicated for osteoporosis because they help prevent bone loss and reduce the risk of fractures by inhibiting bone resorption. This is achieved by promoting bone mineralization and increasing bone density. Bisphosphonates are not indicated for organophosphate poisoning, dementia, or Steven's Johnson syndrome as they do not have any therapeutic effect in these conditions.
Question 2 of 5
Medicinal calcium salts are indicated for:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Prevention of osteoporosis. Medicinal calcium salts are commonly prescribed to prevent osteoporosis due to their role in maintaining bone density. Calcium is essential for bone health and helps prevent bone loss associated with osteoporosis. Choice B: Hastening fracture union is incorrect because while calcium is important for bone healing, it is not typically used as the primary treatment to hasten fracture union. Choice C: Peripheral neuritis is incorrect because calcium salts are not indicated for the treatment of peripheral neuritis. Peripheral neuritis is often treated with medications such as B vitamins. Therefore, the correct choice is A as medicinal calcium salts are specifically indicated for the prevention of osteoporosis.
