Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Amphotericin B is nephrotoxic so the patient needs to understand the risk of kidney damage. Other risks of amphotericin B include bone marrow suppression; GI irritation with nausea, vomiting, and potentially severe diarrhea; anorexia and weight loss; and pain at the injection site with the possibility of phlebitis or thrombophlebitis, but it does not cause diabetes, liver necrosis, or pancreatitis.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Fluvoxamine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor that should be taken once a day before bedtime. The medication does not require 8 ounces of fluid for absorption. It should be taken for at least 4 weeks before a therapeutic effect is noted.
