Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The monoamine oxidase inhibitors are well absorbed from the GI tract, reaching peak levels in 2 to 3 hours. The other time frames are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Ketoconazole is not the drug of choice for patients with endocrine or fertility problems because of its effects on these processes. It is not known whether posaconazole crosses the placenta or enters breast milk, so it should not be used during pregnancy or lactation unless the benefits clearly outweigh the potential risks but has no risk to those with fertility or endocrine problems. Fluconazole and itraconazole would be safe for this patient.
