Answer to Question 1

A, D, E
Feedback:
The incidence of fungal infections has increased with the rising number of immunocompromised peoplepatients with AIDS and AIDS-related complex (ARC), those taking immunosuppressant drugs, those who have undergone transplantation surgery or cancer treatment, and members of the increasingly larger elderly population, who are no longer able to protect themselves from the many fungi that are found throughout the environment. Cancer rates and birth rates are declining and do not contribute to the increase in diagnosis of fungal infection.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Several clues indicate the brand name including capitalization of the first letter in the name and in parentheses. Generic names are not capitalized; chemical names are descriptions of the chemistry of the medication resulting in complicated names.
