Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The nurse should monitor kidney function, because amphotericin B is nephrotoxic.
Nothing indicates a need to monitor liver enzymes.
Tinnitus is not an expected adverse effect.
Hypokalemia is a possibility, but hyperkalemia is not anticipated.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Swollen, tender buboes and enlarged genitalia are consistent with lymphogranuloma venereum.
Signs and symptoms of gonorrhea range from mild cervicitis to burning upon urination, cutaneous lesions, and others.
Nothing indicates that this child has been exposed to bubonic plague, which is not typically (if ever) seen in the United States.
Syphilis manifests in various stages; chancres develop, and nearby lymph nodes may become swollen. However enlarged genitalia is not a symptom.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
