It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. Vancomycin is typically administered via IV for systemic infections and orally for C-diff. Key concerns include nephrotoxicity, ototoxicity, and "red man syndrome," which occurs with rapid infusion. Monitoring of renal function and trough levels is crucial.</p> <h2>Multiple Choice Questions</h2> <ol> <li><strong>What is vancomycin primarily used to treat?</strong><br /> a) Viral infections<br /> b) MRSA<br /> c) Fungal infections<br /> d) Diabetes</li> <li><strong>How does vancomycin work?</strong><br /> a) Disrupts protein synthesis<br /> b) Inhibits cell wall synthesis<br /> c) Increases glucose uptake<br /> d) Enhances DNA replication</li> <li><strong>What condition can occur if vancomycin is infused too quickly?</strong><br /> a) Hair loss<br /> b) Red man syndrome<br /> c) Weight gain<br /> d) Increased appetite</li> <li><strong>How is vancomycin administered for systemic infections?</strong><br /> a) Orally<br /> b) Topically<br /> c) Intravenously<br /> d) Subcutaneously</li> <li><strong>Which function should be closely monitored during vancomycin therapy?</strong><br /> a) Cardiac function<br /> b) Renal function<br /> c) Respiratory function<br /> d) Blood glucose levels</li> </ol> <h2>Answer Key</h2> <ol> <li><strong>b)</strong> MRSA</li> <li><strong>b)</strong> Inhibits cell wall synthesis</li> <li><strong>b)</strong> Red man syndrome</li> <li><strong>c)</strong> Intravenously</li> <li><strong>b)</strong> Renal function</li> </ol>

Key considerations include monitoring liver function, avoiding alcohol, and ensuring patient adherence to therapy. Common medications include isoniazid and rifampin.</p> <h2>Multiple Choice Questions</h2> <ol> <li><strong>How do antitubercular medications primarily work?</strong><br /> a) Inhibiting protein synthesis<br /> b) Inhibiting mycobacterial growth<br /> c) Enhancing DNA replication<br /> d) Blocking cell wall formation</li> <li><strong>How long does antitubercular therapy usually last?</strong><br /> a) 1 month<br /> b) 3 months<br /> c) 6 months to 2 years<br /> d) 1 week</li> <li><strong>Which organ's function should be closely monitored during antitubercular therapy?</strong><br /> a) Heart<br /> b) Liver<br /> c) Kidney<br /> d) Lungs</li> <li><strong>Which substance should patients avoid during antitubercular treatment?</strong><br /> a) Caffeine<br /> b) Alcohol<br /> c) Dairy<br /> d) Citrus fruits</li> <li><strong>What is a commonly used antitubercular medication?</strong><br /> a) Penicillin<br /> b) Isoniazid<br /> c) Acyclovir<br /> d) Metronidazole</li> </ol> <h2>Answer Key</h2> <ol> <li><strong>b)</strong> Inhibiting mycobacterial growth</li> <li><strong>c)</strong> 6 months to 2 years</li> <li><strong>b)</strong> Liver</li> <li><strong>b)</strong> Alcohol</li> <li><strong>b)</strong> Isoniazid</li> </ol>
