Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2,4,5
Rationale 1: The nurse would not question an order for this medication to be administered by mouth.
Rationale 2: The nurse should question an order for this medication to be administered by IM injection.
Rationale 3: The nurse would not question an order for this medication to be administered by IV injection.
Rationale 4: The nurse should question an order for this medication to be administered by SQ injection.
Rationale 5: The nurse should question an order for this medication to be administered topically.
Global Rationale: Fluconazole offers several advantages over other systemic antifungals. It is rapidly and completely absorbed when given PO and is also available by the IV route. It is not administered IM, SQ, or topically.
