  A) Amphotericin B
  B) Anidulafungin
  C) Flucytosine
  D) Butoconazole

Question 2

  A) A slowing of the action of the neurons may lead to their depletion.
  B) Monoamine oxidase (MAO) strengthens the impact of biogenic amines.

Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Anidulafungin (Eraxis) is used for the treatment of candidemia (infection of the bloodstream) and other forms of candidal infections, intra-abdominal infections, and esophageal candidiasis. Amphotericin B is not indicated in the treatment of candidemia. Flucytosine is indicated for the treatment of candidemia but is excreted primarily in the urine so would be contraindicated in a patient with a transplanted kidney. Butoconazole is a topical medication that would not be appropriate for use treating a systemic bloodborne fungal infection.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The three reasons for depression according to the biogenic amine theory include (1) MAO may break down biogenic amine to be recycled or restored in the neuron. (2) Rapid fire of the neurons may lead to their depletion. (3) The number or sensitivity of postsynaptic receptors may increase, thus depleting neurotransmitter levels.
