This is a no-brainer. Nystatin is the obvious choice. The other options are completely unrelated to antifungal agents. *chuckles* I bet the exam writers are trying to trip us up with these distractors.

Okay, let me think about this. Cholestyramine is a cholesterol-lowering agent, hydrocortisone is a steroid, and zinc oxide is a skin protectant. Nystatin has to be the antifungal agent here.

Nystatin, definitely Nystatin. I remember learning about that in my pharmacology class. The other options are just not relevant to the question.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'm pretty sure the antifungal agent is Nystatin, but I want to double-check the other options just to be sure.

I'm not sure, but I think Nystatin makes sense because it's commonly used to treat fungal infections.
