Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Fluconazole is often prescribed to treat candidiasis if over-the-counter medication is not effective, and is very effective, often requiring only one dosage.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: 3.8 mL is too much medication to administer into the deltoid muscle, so the medication would be administered via the ventrogluteal site. The abdomen is used for subcutaneous injection, and the forearm is used for intradermal injection.
