Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

Rationale 2: Fungal infections grow slowly.
Rationale 3: Fungal infections can require months of treatment.
Rationale 4: Fungal infections are not common in individuals with healthy immune systems.
Global Rationale: Fungal infections grow slowly and require months of treatment. Fungal infections are not common in individuals with healthy immune systems. There are relatively few drugs available to treat fungal infections.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Although urinalysis will be performed, it is not the priority assessment.
Rationale 2: Assessment should include signs of hepatotoxicity, including measurement of liver function.
Rationale 3: Although this is important, WBC counts are not the priority assessment.
Rationale 4: Although electrolytes will be measured, they are not the priority assessment.
Global Rationale: Drugs given as treatment for tuberculosis can adversely affect the liver, so close assessment of liver function is necessary. The other parameters will be monitored, but are not of highest priority.
