Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Patients with a history of uterine fibroids should not take clomiphene. Anovulation is the indication for clomiphene. Dysmenorrhea and sexually transmitted infections are not contraindications.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Nystatin vaginal tablets are the safest to use during pregnancy. Monistat-3 is contraindicated during the first trimester of pregnancy. Oral fluconazole will have systemic side effects and is pregnancy category C or D.
