Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The nurse should assess the patient for heart failure, because this medication causes cardiac suppression.
Sporanox is not contraindicated for patients with asthma, lupus, or osteoarthritis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D, E
Miconazole is the drug of choice for cutaneous and vulvovaginal candidiasis.
Miconazole is not effective for the treatment of systemic infections, such as pulmonary aspergillosis.
Miconazole is not used to treat catheter-related fungal infections.
Miconazole does not cross the blood-brain barrier, therefore it cannot be used for central nervous system infections.
