Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Agonists are drugs that produce effects similar to those produced by naturally occurring neurotransmitters, hormones, or other substances found in the body. Noncompetitive antagonists are drugs that react with some receptor sites preventing the reaction of another chemical with a different receptor site. Drugenzyme interactions interfere with the enzyme systems that stimulate various chemical reactions.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Fluconazole and voriconazole are available in oral and IV preparations, making it possible to start the drug IV for a serious infection and then switch to an oral form when the patient's condition improves and he or she is able to take oral medications. Itraconazole, posaconazole, and terbinafine are administered only orally.
