Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
A decreased hypertensive effect can occur if a beta-selective adrenergic blocking agent is used in combination with NSAIDs. If this combination is used, the patient should be monitored closely and dosage adjustments made. Antibiotics, oral contraceptives, and antifungal agents are not known to have a drugdrug interaction.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
A mycosis is simply a fungal infection. It does not give any indication of type or where it is found and has nothing to do with a bacterial infection.
