Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Prozac and Sarafem are different brand names for fluoxetine, so there is no benefit in changing the patient's medication regimen and, if taken together, would result in a drug overdose. The other three responses are incorrect or inappropriate because they do not recognize that both drugs are the same.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Vaginal antifungals should be administered high into the vagina. The patient should be placed in a recumbent position for insertion. Clean technique (not sterile) should be used. Inserting a tampon after administration is not necessary.
