Question 1 of 5
Tick the broad spectrum drug for cestodosis, trematodosis and cycticercosis treatment:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Praziquantel. It is effective against a broad spectrum of parasitic infections including cestodosis, trematodosis, and cysticercosis. Praziquantel works by causing paralysis in the parasites, leading to their detachment from the host's tissues. It is well-tolerated and has minimal side effects. Incorrect choices: A: Piperazine - Effective against roundworm infections, not effective for cestodosis, trematodosis, or cysticercosis. B: Ivermectin - Effective mainly against roundworm and certain mite infections, not the ideal choice for cestodosis and trematodosis. D: Pyrantel - Effective against roundworm and hookworm infections, not the optimal choice for cestodosis, trematodosis, or cysticercosis.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following medications might have caused the symptoms in the 69-year-old depressed man?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Acetazolamide. This medication is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor commonly used to treat glaucoma and altitude sickness. It can cause depression as a side effect. Mannitol (A) is an osmotic diuretic, Latanoprost (B) and Timolol (C) are both glaucoma medications that do not typically cause depression. Therefore, Acetazolamide is the most likely culprit for the symptoms in the depressed man.
