    Drugs that act in various ways to reduce number of runny stools

    • Antiulcer

    • Antidiarrhea prepartion

    • Antinuclear

    Correct Answer
    A. Antidiarrhea prepartion
    Explanation
    Antidiarrhea preparations are drugs that are specifically designed to reduce the number of runny stools. They work by slowing down the movement of the intestines and absorbing excess water in the stool, resulting in firmer and less frequent bowel movements. These medications are commonly used to treat diarrhea caused by various factors such as viral or bacterial infections, food poisoning, or certain medications. By reducing the number of runny stools, antidiarrhea preparations help to alleviate symptoms and restore normal bowel function.

    Which instruction for patients taking antibiotics is true?

    • Continue taking if showing side effects

    • Take at prescribed times

    • Take with fruit juice

    Correct Answer
    A. Take at prescribed times
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Take at prescribed times." This instruction is true because taking antibiotics at specific times ensures that the medication is consistently present in the body at the required levels to effectively fight the infection. Taking antibiotics at irregular intervals or missing doses can reduce their effectiveness and allow the infection to persist or worsen. Therefore, it is important for patients to follow the prescribed dosing schedule to maximize the benefits of antibiotic treatment.

    • Valtrex

    Correct Answer
    A. Rifampin
    Explanation
    Rifampin does not classify as an antiviral medication because it is primarily used as an antibiotic to treat bacterial infections such as tuberculosis. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of RNA in bacteria, which is different from how antiviral medications target viruses. Acyclovir and Valtrex, on the other hand, are antiviral drugs commonly used to treat viral infections such as herpes.
