Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Unasyn is a penicillinbeta-lactamase inhibitor combination. It is ampicillin and sulbactam. Unasyn is not classified as an extended-spectrum antipseudomonal penicillin, cephalosporin, or aminopenicillin.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
With topical medications, cautious use is recommended with infants and young children due to the fact they have more permeable skin and are more likely to absorb the topical drugs. Infants have significant subcutaneous fat, but this does not necessitate higher concentrations of drugs. Topical drugs do not necessarily have to be covered with a barrier following administration.
