Answer to Question 1

C
Status epilepticus is a prolonged seizure (longer than 30 minutes) or repeated severe seizures that can result in permanent brain damage and death from lack of oxygen to the brain.

Answer to Question 2

D
Rapid administration of IV amphotericin B is associated with more severe rigors, hyperkalemia, and a more rapid onset of renal insufficiency. It is recommended that the drug be administered over a 6-hour time period regardless of the dose.
