Answer to Question 1

2

Rationale 1:Viruses are treated with antiviral drugs.
Rationale 2:Viruses are self-limiting and require no medical treatment.
Rationale 3:Viruses contain a few dozen genes in the form of RNA or DNA.
Rationale 4:Viruses are surrounded by a protective protein coat or capsid.

Global Rationale: Surrounded by a protective protein coat or capsid, a virus contains only a few dozen geneseither in the form of ribonucleic acid (RNA) or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)that contain the information needed for viral replication. Many viral infections are self-limiting and require no medical treatment.

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale 1:Azoles have become the preferred drugs for the treatment of some systemic fungal infections.
Rationale 2:Antibiotics are used for the treatment of a bacterial infection.
Rationale 3:Antivirals treat active viral infections.
Rationale 4:HAART is highly active antiretroviral therapy used for HIV/AIDS.

Global Rationale: Amphotericin B has been the gold standard for treating systemic fungal infection since the 1960s. Newer Azole drugs, such as fluconazole (Diflucan) and itraconazole (Sporanox) are safer and have become preferred drugs.
