Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The most important information the nurse can provide is that male partners should always be treated, even if they are asymptomatic.
Gels are not indicated for T. vaginalis; oral medications are.
T. vaginalis infection is not treated with gels or injections; oral medications are used.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Optimal pretreatment before administration of amphotericin B is with acetaminophen, diphenhydramine, and meperidine (for rigors).
Motrin is not suggested as pretreatment.
Aspirin is an option, but it may increase kidney damage.
Morphine is not indicated in the pretreatment regimen.
