Answer to Question 1

Ans: C, D, E
Feedback:
A fungal superinfection commonly occurs in the mouth, vagina, and anogenital areas, commonly manifested by creamy, white, lace-like patches on the tongue, mouth, or throat; white or yellow vaginal discharge; anal or vaginal itching or redness; and inflammation or excoriation of the mouth or the skin folds of the anogenital area. Bacterial superinfections commonly occur in the bowel, manifested by fever, diarrhea with visible blood or mucus, and abdominal cramping.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
Tendonitis and tendon rupture risk increase when taking a fluoroquinolone. Although this can happen at any age, those older than 60 years who also take corticosteroids are at greater risk.
