Answer to Question 2

2

Rationale 1:Antipyretic and antifungal is incorrect because fungal infections of the ear are not treated with antipyretics.
Rationale 2: Cortisporin is a combination of neomycin and hydrocortisone (antibiotics and glucocorticoids), and is used to treat general ear infections and inflammation.
Rationale 3:Antibiotic therapy with an analgesic is incorrect because an analgesic might be added for pain control but would not be part of a combination medication.
Rationale 4:Antibiotic and prophylactic therapy is incorrect because long-term use of antibiotics is not recommended for prevention of infections.

Global Rationale: Cortisporin is a combination of neomycin and hydrocortisone (antibiotics and glucocorticoids), and is used to treat general ear infections and inflammation.
