Question 1 of 5
Rational combination of anticancer drugs is used to:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Provide synergism resulting from the use of anticancer drugs with different mechanisms combination. Rational combination of anticancer drugs with different mechanisms can target multiple pathways in cancer cells, leading to enhanced efficacy and reduced chances of drug resistance. This synergy can result in improved treatment outcomes. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect: B: Providing synergism from using anticancer drugs with the same mechanisms combination would not enhance the effectiveness of treatment. C: Stimulating the immune system is a different approach to cancer treatment and is not related to rational drug combinations. D: Stimulation of cell proliferation would be counterproductive in cancer treatment as the goal is to inhibit cancer cell growth, not promote it.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following drugs was most likely included in the therapeutic regimen of the patient with bilateral adrenal hyperplasia?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Furosemide. In bilateral adrenal hyperplasia, excess production of aldosterone occurs, leading to fluid retention and hypertension. Furosemide is a loop diuretic that helps reduce blood volume and lower blood pressure by promoting the excretion of sodium and water in the urine. This drug is commonly used to manage hypertension associated with adrenal gland disorders. Step-by-step rationale: 1. Identify the condition: bilateral adrenal hyperplasia. 2. Understand the pathophysiology: aldosterone excess leads to fluid retention and hypertension. 3. Choose the appropriate drug class: diuretics to reduce blood volume and lower blood pressure. 4. Select the specific drug: Furosemide, a loop diuretic, is effective in managing hypertension associated with adrenal gland disorders. Summary: A: Hydrochlorothiazide - Thiazide diuretic, not as effective in cases of aldosterone excess. B: Mannitol - Osmotic diure
