Answer to Question 1

C
Posaconazole is used as prophylaxis for invasive Aspergillus and Candida infections in immu-nocompromised patients. Fluconazole, ketoconazole, and voriconazole are not used prophylacti-cally.

Answer to Question 2

A
Optimum pretreatment before the administration of amphotericin B comprises acetaminophen, diphenhydramine, and meperidine (for rigors). Motrin is not suggested as pretreatment. Aspirin is an option, but it may increase kidney damage. Morphine is not indicated in the pretreatment regimen.
