Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The nurse should monitor kidney function, because amphotericin B is nephrotoxic.
Nothing indicates a need to monitor liver enzymes.
Tinnitus is not an expected adverse effect.
Hypokalemia is a possibility, but hyperkalemia is not anticipated.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Swollen, tender buboes and enlarged genitalia are consistent with lymphogranuloma venereum.
Signs and symptoms of gonorrhea range from mild cervicitis to burning upon urination, cutaneous lesions, and others.
Nothing indicates that this child has been exposed to bubonic plague, which is not typically (if ever) seen in the United States.
Syphilis manifests in various stages; chancres develop, and nearby lymph nodes may become swollen. However enlarged genitalia is not a symptom.
