Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Oral thrush is a manifestation of a suprainfection. The development of thrush is not a symptom of antibiotic resistance. Oral thrush typically is not a community-acquired infection. The development of thrush is not a nosocomial infection.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Aspartame contains phenylalanine, so it is unsafe for patients with PKU. It is unstable when heated and thus cannot be used for cooking. There is no evidence to support the theory that it contributes to the risk of Alzheimer's disease. All calorie-free sweeteners are sweeter than sucrose.
