Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

D
Breast-feeding while taking antipsychotic medication is contraindicated since the medication is excreted through the breast milk and passed on to the child. However, there are no particular known contraindications regarding the use of antipsychotics during pregnancy. Clinicians do try to minimize the dosage during pregnancy and avoid administering the medication early in the pregnancy and close to the delivery time.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
