Sulfonamides are effective against:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Sulfonamides inhibit folic acid synthesis, which is essential for the growth of bacteria, Chlamydia, Actinomyces, and some protozoa. This mechanism makes them effective against all the mentioned microorganisms. Choice A is incorrect because it does not include protozoa. Choice B is incorrect because sulfonamides are effective against Actinomyces. Choice C is incorrect because sulfonamides are not effective against all protozoa.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Doxorubicin. Doxorubicin is an antibiotic commonly used in cancer chemotherapy to treat various types of cancer. It works by inhibiting DNA and RNA synthesis in cancer cells, leading to cell death. Cytarabine (A) is an antimetabolite used in leukemia treatment, not an antibiotic for cancer chemotherapy. Gentamycin (C) is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used for bacterial infections, not cancer treatment. Etoposide (D) is a topoisomerase inhibitor used in cancer chemotherapy but is not classified as an antibiotic.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Amiodarone. Amiodarone is not commonly used as an anticonvulsant; it is primarily used as an antiarrhythmic medication to treat various types of irregular heart rhythms. Adenosine is used to treat supraventricular tachycardia, not seizures. Diltiazem is a calcium channel blocker used for hypertension and arrhythmias, not seizures. Esmolol is a beta-blocker primarily used for controlling heart rate in certain conditions, not seizures. Therefore, Amiodarone is the most appropriate choice for treating generalized tonic-clonic seizures.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D (Nitroprusside and esmolol) for aortic dissection. Nitroprusside is a vasodilator to reduce afterload and esmolol is a beta-blocker to control heart rate and blood pressure. This combination helps decrease shear stress on the aorta. A: Labetalol is a beta-blocker and prazosin is an alpha-blocker, not commonly used for aortic dissection. B: Diazoxide is a vasodilator and hydralazine is an arterial dilator, not the first-line in aortic dissection. C: Clonidine is a centrally acting alpha-agonist and captopril is an ACE inhibitor, not typically used in aortic dissection management.
