Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
All pharmacists and physicians must register with the DEA. They are given numbers that are required before they can dispense or prescribe controlled substances. DEA numbers are only needed when prescribing controlled substances. A DEA number is neither a case number nor a phone number.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Butoconazole (Gynazole) is administered once daily and should be inserted high into the vagina with the patient remaining recumbent for at least 10 to 15 minutes after insertion. Using the medication at bedtime helps decrease losing the medication by gravity and extends the time the medication will be in contact with the vaginal wall. The medication is not usually applied to the perineum unless the infection has traveled outside the vagina. Sitz baths are contraindicated because fungi flourish in moist environments. This medication is not administered orally and can only be applied topically.
