Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Oral electrolyte solutions (e.g., Pedialyte) contain several electrolytes and a small amount of dextrose. They are especially useful in children for treatment of diarrhea and may prevent severe fluid and electrolyte depletion. Magnesium gluconate, 50 dextrose, and sodium bicarbonate are not typically used for this purpose.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Flucytosine is used as an adjunctive agent with amphotericin B for the treatment of systemic fungal infections caused by Candida and Cryptococcus.
