Question 1 of 5
Which of the following conditions is not typically treated with Hydrochlorothiazide?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic commonly used to treat hypertension (HTN) and congestive heart failure (CHF) by reducing blood volume and lowering blood pressure. Nephritis is an inflammatory condition of the kidneys, not typically treated with Hydrochlorothiazide as it may worsen kidney function. Hypercalciuria, excessive calcium in the urine, can be managed with Hydrochlorothiazide as it helps reduce calcium excretion. Therefore, the correct answer is C (Nephritis), as it is not typically treated with Hydrochlorothiazide due to its potential impact on kidney function.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following conditions is not treated with Methotrexate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Rheumatic fever. Methotrexate is not typically used to treat rheumatic fever as it is an autoimmune inflammatory condition, not typically responsive to Methotrexate. Methotrexate is commonly used to treat sarcomas, leukemias, and ectopic pregnancies due to its ability to inhibit cell proliferation. Sarcomas and leukemias are types of cancers, while ectopic pregnancy is a condition where a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following conditions is not treated with Prednisone?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Prednisone is a corticosteroid used to treat inflammatory conditions and certain types of cancer. Testicular cancer is not typically treated with Prednisone because it is a form of cancer that requires specific treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. Prednisone is not the primary treatment option for testicular cancer. In contrast, Prednisone is commonly used to manage symptoms in conditions like Cushing's disease, lymphomas, and chronic leukemias by reducing inflammation and suppressing immune response. Therefore, choice B is the correct answer as Prednisone is not a standard treatment for testicular cancer.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following conditions is not treated with Dexamethasone?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Explanation: Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid used to treat inflammation and conditions like asthma and Addison's disease, which involve inflammation or immune responses. Wilson's disease is a genetic disorder related to copper metabolism, not treated with Dexamethasone. Dexamethasone could worsen Wilson's disease due to its potential impact on copper levels.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following conditions is not treated with Lansoprazole?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor used to reduce stomach acid production. Hypertension is a condition related to high blood pressure and is not treated with Lansoprazole. Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, gastritis, and reflux are all conditions that can be treated with Lansoprazole due to its ability to reduce stomach acid. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer.
