, 1. Which medication should be used in the treatment of tuberculosis in pregnancy?
A. Ethambutol
B. Pyridoxine
C. Rifapentine
D. Rifabutin
Correct Answer: D. Rifabutin
Rationale: Rifabutin is considered safe for use in pregnancy for the treatment of
tuberculosis. Ethambutol is also used, but rifabutin is specifically noted in the exam as
the correct answer. Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) is given as adjunctive therapy to prevent
neuropathy from isoniazid, not as a primary anti-TB drug. Rifapentine is generally
avoided in pregnancy due to insufficient safety data.
Traveler's Diarrhea
2. A couple celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary are given a trip to Peru to visit
Machu Picchu. Because of past experiences while traveling, they ask their doctor to
prescribe an agent in case they experience diarrhea. Which of the following drugs
would be effective?
A. Omeprazole
B. Loperamide
C. Famotidine
D. Lubiprostone
, Correct Answer: B. Loperamide
Rationale: Loperamide is an antidiarrheal agent that slows intestinal motility and is
effective for symptomatic relief of traveler's diarrhea. Omeprazole and famotidine are
acid-suppressing agents, not antidiarrheals. Lubiprostone is a laxative used for
constipation and IBS-C.
3. Neena is planning missionary work in a region with poor drinking water. She is
given a prescription for ciprofloxacin to take with her. Which of the following
instructions are most important to discuss with Neena?
A. Start ciprofloxacin 1 week before traveling.
B. Take 1 tablet of ciprofloxacin with each meal while living in areas with inadequate
water maintenance.
C. Use the drug if symptoms develop and are severe or do not improve in a few days.
D. Combine the antibiotic with an antidiarrheal medication, such as loperamide.
Correct Answer: C. Use the drug if symptoms develop and are severe or do not
improve in a few days.
Rationale: Ciprofloxacin is not taken prophylactically for traveler's diarrhea. It should
be used if symptoms develop and are severe or persist. Starting it a week before travel
is not recommended. Taking it with every meal is not appropriate. Combining an
antibiotic with loperamide should be done with caution and only under specific
guidance.
, 4. What medications should be taken for Traveler's Diarrhea?
A. Fluoroquinolones
B. Immodium
C. Misoprostol
D. Alosetron
Correct Answer: A. Fluoroquinolones
Rationale: Fluoroquinolones (e.g., ciprofloxacin) are the first-line antibiotics for
moderate to severe traveler's diarrhea. Immodium (loperamide) is used for
symptomatic relief but is not curative. Misoprostol is a prostaglandin used for gastric
protection and labor induction. Alosetron is used for IBS-D in women.
