how does topical application of eflornithine treat facial hirsutism?
it slows the rate of hair growth.
it reduces androgen levels.

Explanation:

Question 17

Genital herpes primary episode typically lasts about 2 - 4 weeks. Among the options, 4 weeks is the most accurate duration for a primary genital herpes episode.

Treatment for HSV - 2 (herpes simplex virus type 2) is not restricted to only within 72 hours. Antiviral medications can be effective even after 72 hours to reduce symptoms, duration, and viral shedding. So the statement "You should never treat a patient with HSV 2 symptoms after 72 hours" is false.

Eflornithine, when applied topically for facial hirsutism, works by inhibiting the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase, which slows the rate of hair growth. It does not reduce androgen levels. So the correct option is the one stating it slows the rate of hair growth.

Answer:

B. 4 weeks (assuming the options are labeled with letters, if original had no labels, then "4 weeks")
