Answer to Question 1

Impetigo is a common, superficial skin infection beginning as a focal erythema and progressing to pruritic vesicles, erosions, and honey-colored crusts. Oral herpes simplex would look like a cold sore. Tinea corporis has a circular, red, scaly border, and candidiasis is a proliferation of the normal yeast flora.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2
To preserve vision and reduce the onset of diabetic retinopathy, the nurse should instruct the client to control blood glucose level, manage other complications, and stop smoking. The client should not be instructed to limit exercise, reduce reading, rest the eyes, or rub the eyes to prevent the onset of diabetic retinopathy.
