Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Oral candidiasis (thrush) involves mucous membranes of the mouth. It often occurs as a superinfection after the use of broad-spectrum systemic antibiotics. Oral antihyperglycemics, skin emollients, and vaccinations do not contribute to thrush.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
When arterial blood pressure is elevated, the kidneys excrete more fluid. The loss of fluid will reduce, not increase, blood volume. The decreased blood volume will decrease cardiac output. The decreased cardiac output decreases blood pressure.
