Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Antifungals are used primarily for vaginal yeast or fungal infections. Because AIDS destroys the body's immune system, patients with AIDS are prey to many opportunistic infections. Fungi the body would usually keep under control now cause some of the most problematic infections.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The dosage of antibiotic ordered depends on the type and severity of the infection. Penicillins come in different forms; one class is natural penicillinase-resistant penicillin.
