Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Bacitracin is used to treat a bacterial skin infection. Butenafine is an antifungal agent. Clotrimazole is used to treat tinea infections. Benzoyl peroxide is used to treat acne.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Drugs that induce drug-metabolizing enzymes (e.g., carbamazepine, phenytoin, rifampin) decrease serum concentrations of itraconazole. The serum level of carbamazepine will not need to be increased. The carbamazepine should not be discontinued or changed.
