Choice B is wrong because Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) are wrong because they do not inhibit viral DNA polymerase, but rather bind directly to reverse transcriptase and block its activity.

Choice C is wrong because Nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) are wrong because they are not nucleosides, but nucleotides that need to be phosphorylated before they can inhibit reverse transcriptase.

Choice D is wrong because Protease inhibitors (PIs) are wrong because they do not inhibit viral DNA polymerase or reverse transcriptase, but rather block the protease enzyme that cleaves viral proteins into functional units.

Choice A is wrong because it describes the mechanism of action of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), which are another class of antiviral drugs that bind to and inhibit viral reverse transcriptase enzyme.

Choice B is wrong because it describes the mechanism of action of protease inhibitors (PIs), which are another class of antiviral drugs that inhibit viral protease enzyme that is essential for viral protein maturation and assembly.

Choice D is wrong because it describes the mechanism of action of fusion inhibitors (FIs), which are another class of antiviral drugs that prevent viral fusion with host cell membrane.

Choice A is wrong because nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) are a class of antiviral drugs that block the action of reverse transcriptase, a viral enzyme that converts the viral RNA into DNA.

Choice B is wrong because non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) are a class of antiviral drugs that also block the action of reverse transcriptase, but in a different way than NRTIs. They bind to a different site on the enzyme and cause it to change shape.

Choice D is wrong because protease inhibitors (PIs) are a class of antiviral drugs that block the action of protease, a viral enzyme that cleaves the viral polyprotein into functional units. This prevents the virus from assembling and maturing.

Choice B is wrong because Ototoxicity is wrong because amphotericin B does not affect the ears or hearing. Ototoxicity is more common with aminoglycosides, another class of antibiotics.

Choice C is wrong because Hepatotoxicity is wrong because amphotericin B does not cause liver damage. Hepatotoxicity is more common with azoles, another class of antifungals.

Choice D is wrong because Thrombocytopenia is wrong because amphotericin B does not cause low platelet count. Thrombocytopenia is more common with heparin, an anticoagulant drug.

Choice B is wrong because warfarin does not have a significant interaction with caspofungin. Warfarin is a blood thinner that prevents blood clots.

Choice C is wrong because metformin does not have a significant interaction with caspofungin. Metformin is a drug used to lower blood sugar levels in diabetes.

Choice D is wrong because digoxin does not have a significant interaction with caspofungin. Digoxin is a drug used to treat heart failure and irregular heartbeat. Caspofungin is an antifungal drug that belongs to the echinocandin class. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of a component of the fungal cell wall called beta-glucan. It is used to treat various fungal infections such as candidemia, esophageal candidiasis, invasive aspergillosis, and febrile neutropenia

Choice B is wrong because washing the feet with soap and water before applying the cream is not necessary and may cause irritation or dryness of the skin.

Choice C is wrong because covering the affected area with a bandage after applying the cream is not advised and may create a moist environment that favors fungal growth.

Choice D is wrong because itching or burning are common side effects of terbinafine cream and do not indicate an allergic reaction or a need to stop using the cream. However, if the symptoms are severe or persist, the client should contact their health care provider.

Choice B is wrong because chloroquine does not disrupt mitochondrial function in the parasite.

Choice C is wrong because chloroquine does not interfere with DNA synthesis in the parasite.

Choice D is wrong because chloroquine does not block calcium influx in the parasite.

Choice B is wrong because albendazole does not paralyze the worm’s muscles. It inhibits the formation of microtubules, which are important for cell division and movement

Choice C is wrong because albendazole does not dissolve the worm’s cuticle. The cuticle is a protective layer that covers the worm’s body. Albendazole affects the internal cells of the worm, not the external ones

Choice D is wrong because albendazole does not stimulate the worm’s nervous system. It has the opposite effect of blocking the transmission of nerve impulses by interfering with tubulin, a protein that forms part of the nerve cells

Choice A is wrong because warfarin is not a known interaction with atovaquone-proguanil. Warfarin is a blood thinner that can interact with many other drugs, but atovaquone-proguanil is not one of them.

Choice B is wrong because metformin is not a known interaction with atovaquone-proguanil. Metformin is a drug that lowers blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. It does not affect the metabolism or efficacy of atovaquone-proguanil.

Choice C is wrong because omeprazole is not a known interaction with atovaquone-proguanil. Omeprazole is a drug that reduces stomach acid production and treats ulcers and reflux. It does not interfere with the absorption or action of atovaquone-proguanil.
