Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Ketoconazole should be taken with food. It is administered once daily. Patients taking antifungals should not consume alcohol. Antifungals can cause liver and renal toxicity, so patients will need lab monitoring.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Topical miconazole is used to treat vaginal candidiasis.
