Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, C
Feedback:
The patient receiving amphotericin B IV can experience rigors, hypotension, and problems with the IV infusion site. Therefore, remaining free from rigors and maintaining a stable blood pressure and a patent IV infusion site would indicate that the plan of care for impaired comfort is successful. A urine output of 30 mL/hour would be an indicator of adequate renal tissue perfusion. Cleaning the involved area would not be appropriate because the client has a systemic fungal infection.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Thrush is also oral candidiasis, a superficial fungal infection of the oral mucosa. Aspergillosis and cryptococcal meningitis are systemic fungal infections. Malaria is a protozoal infection.
