The correct answers are "ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic", "albuterol is a bronchodilator", and "prednisone is a corticosteroid". Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic in the class of fluoroquinolones, effective against respiratory infections since patients with COPD has mucus hypersecretion which predisposes the patient to respiratory infections. Other antibiotics include respiratory fluoroquinolones such as levofloxacin and moxifloxacin, cephalosporins such as cefuroxime and ceftriaxone, and beta-lactams such as co-amoxiclav. Albuterol is a short acting beta-agonist (SABA) which actions as a bronchodilator by relaxing bronchial smooth muscles. Other popular SABA is salbutamol. Prednisone is a corticosteroid which actions to prevent inflammation by blocking the arachidonic acid pathway and therefore block the formation of inflammatory mediators.
Decadron is dexamethasone which is a steroid. Bactrim is TMP/SMX which is an antibiotic.
Answer:
C) Increases in daily fiber intake should be gradual.
Explanation:
Fiber is the indigestible part of plants and carbohydrates. Beans, peas and lentils are some sources of fiber.
Fiber is best obtained through dried peas and beans and not from pills and the optimal amount of fiber varies with gender, age and pregnancy so there is no fixed diet for fiber and 25 g fiber a day is recommended for adult women and 38 g for adult men.
Increases in daily fiber intake should be gradual because a high fiber diet helps to prevent diseases like heart diseases, diabetes, constipation, and colon cancer. It also smoothens the digestive system and lowers the cholrestrol.
Hence, the correct answer is "C) Increases in daily fiber intake should be gradual."
