Answer to Question 1

D
The nurse should advise the patient to continue therapy for at least 1 week after the symptoms have cleared up. The medication should be applied only to affected areas. Sun exposure will not delay the effects of clotrimazole. The drug must be applied twice daily for several weeks.

Answer to Question 2

C
Infusions of amphotericin B should be given over 2 to 4 hours to minimize phlebitis and cardi-ovascular reactions; therefore, 1 to 2 hours is incorrect. Test doses are given to evaluate the pa-tient's response. Any precipitate in the IV solution warrants immediate discontinuation of the IV. IV sites should be rotated frequently.
