Question 1 of 5
Tick the anticancer drug belonging to inorganic metal complexes:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is the most suitable anti malarial drug for pregnant women?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Quinine with clindamycin (C) is safe and effective for malaria in pregnancy, especially for uncomplicated cases. Atovaquone-proguanil (A) lacks sufficient safety data, doxycycline (B) is contraindicated due to fetal bone/teeth effects, primaquine (D) risks hemolysis, and mefloquine (E) has teratogenic concerns—making C the best choice.
Question 3 of 5
Bone marrow responds to iron therapy by increasing erythropoietic activity. Which of the following in bone marrow would most likely indicate erythropoiesis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Reticulocytes (B) are immature RBCs released from bone marrow during active erythropoiesis, increasing with iron therapy in iron deficiency anemia. Myelocytes (A) are myeloid precursors, ring sideroblasts (C) indicate sideroblastic anemia, target cells (D) suggest liver/hemoglobinopathy, and megakaryoblasts (E) are platelet precursors—reticulocytes directly reflect erythropoiesis.
Question 4 of 5
Artemisinin and its derivatives are used in the treatment of severe forms of chloroquine resistant falciparum because they have
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Artemisinin treats chloroquine-resistant falciparum malaria due to rapid schizonticidal activity (D), killing asexual blood-stage parasites. It’s not primarily gametocidal (A), doesn’t affect hypnozoites (B), isn’t sporontocidal (C), and doesn’t block ring-to-gametocyte (E)—schizonticide action is key.
Question 5 of 5
The epididymis:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
