Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale 1: This is a superficial infection.
Rationale 2: This is a superficial infection.
Rationale 3: Systemic mycoses are those affecting internal organs, typically the lungs, brain, and digestive organs. Although much less common than superficial mycoses, systemic fungal infections affect multiple body systems, and are sometimes fatal to patients with suppressed immune systems.
Rationale 4: This is a superficial infection.

Global Rationale: Systemic mycoses are those affecting internal organs, typically the lungs, brain, and digestive organs. Although much less common than superficial mycoses, systemic fungal infections affect multiple body systems, and are sometimes fatal to patients with suppressed immune systems. The skin, oral mucosa, and scalp are all superficial infections.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale 1:Zidovudine (AZT) is an antiretroviral drug for HIV-AIDS.
Rationale 2:Nystatin (Mycostatin) is used for candidiasis infections.
Rationale 3:Ketoconazole (Nizoral) is used for severe systemic infections.
Rationale 4: Metronidazole (Flagyl) is the drug of choice for both giardiasis and trichomoniasis due to Trichomonas vaginalis.
