Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: A systemic antibiotic will be given for severe impetigo because it is a bacterial infection. Dicloxacillin is used in treatment of skin and soft-tissue infections. It is specific for treating staphylococcal infections. Rifampin is an antitubercular agent, sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim are used as a prophylaxis against Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP), and metronidazole is used to treat anaerobic and protozoic infections.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Candida albicans is frequently the underlying cause of severe diaper rash. When a primary or secondary infection with Candida albicans occurs, the rash has bright red scaly plaques with sharp margins. Small papules and pustules may be seen, along with satellite lesions. Even though diaper dermatitis can be caused by impetigo, urine and feces, and infrequent diapering, the lesions and persistent characteristics are common for Candida.
