Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Community-acquired infections include sporotrichosis, blastomycosis, histoplasmosis, and coccidioidomycosis.
Rationale 2: Opportunistic fungal infections are more likely to be candidiasis, aspergillosis, cryptococcosis, and mucormycosis.
Rationale 3: Aspergillosis is acquired through the inhalation of spores, not through direct contact.
Rationale 4: Fungal infections are not vector-transmitted.
Global Rationale: Opportunistic fungal infections such as candidiasis, aspergillosis, cryptococcosis, and mucormycosis are often found in those with compromised immune systems. Patients with intact immune defenses are afflicted with community-acquired infections such as sporotrichosis, blastomycosis, histoplasmosis, and coccidioidomycosis. Aspergillosis is acquired through the inhalation of spores, not through direct contact. Fungal infections are not vector-transmitted.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Antifungals have both fungistatic and fungicidal activity.
Rationale 2: Antibiotics are effective only against bacteria.
Rationale 3: Fungal cells are eukaryotic, as are human cells.
Rationale 4: Bacteria cells are prokaryotic and human cells are eukaryotic.
Global Rationale: It is true that fungal cells are eukaryotic, as are human cells. Antifungals have both fungistatic and fungicidal activity. Antibiotics are effective only against bacteria. Bacteria cells are prokaryotic and human cells are eukaryotic.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
