Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Foods do not cause acne and, therefore, cellulitis. Antibiotics are the best way to treat, not prevent, cellulitis. Popping pimples drives the infection deeper into the skin and may cause more serious infections.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B, C

The immunizations that the nurse anticipates administering during this routine visit for the adolescent client is the papillomavirus and meningococcal vaccines. The MMR and TDaP boosters would be anticipated for an adult client. A hepatitis B vaccine would be anticipate for an infant client.
