Can metronidazole be taken with ETOH? - correct answer-NO
How are confidence intervals interpreted? - correct answer-For differences between 2
continuous variables: if CI includes 0 then there is no difference between variables.
For odds ratio and relative risks: if CI includes 1 then there is no difference in risk
Spectrum of activity for sulfonamides? - correct answer-Gram + and -, some protazoa, used
in combination with Trimethroprim
What antibiotics are B-Lactams? - correct answer-PCN, Carbapenems, Glycoeptides,
Cephalosporins (5 generations)
What are adverse effects of sulfonamides? - correct answer-SJS
What are common side effects for antiseizure medications? - correct
answer-Carbamezepine: SJS, aplastic anemia

What are some uses for tetracycline? - correct answer-RTIs, acne, some STDs. Avoid in
children less than 8 and pregnant women.
What are the classifications of protein synthesis inhibitors? - correct
answer-Aminoglycosides, Chloramphenicol, Lincosamides, Macrolides, Ketolides,
Tetracyclines, Glycycyclines, streptogramins, Oxazolidinone
What are the main features of aminoglycosides? - correct answer-Distributes well into lean
body tissue, can cause nephrotoxicity, ototoxicity and vestibular toxicity
