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.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
