Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Poison ivy is a contact dermatitis that results from exposure to the oil urushiol in the plant. Every effort is made to prevent the child from scratching because the lesions can become secondarily infected. The poison ivy produces localized, streaked or spotty, oozing, and painful impetiginous lesions. Itching is a common response. The lesions do not spread by contact with the blister serum or by scratching.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Human warts are caused by the human papillomavirus. Infection with bacteria, fungus, and parasitic organisms does not result in warts.
