Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Continuous infusion of fluconazole occurs at a maximum rate of 200 mg/h. The drug is not administered with lactated Ringer's or heparin. A peripheral IV may be used.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Cefoxitin (Mefoxin) is active against B. fragilis, an anaerobic organism resistant to most drugs. Cefaclor, cefamandole nafate, and cefuroxime sodium are all second-generation cephalosporins but not the drug of choice for B. fragilis.
