Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The first stage of healing consists of the inflammatory process, which is being hampered by this child's need to take chronic anti-inflammatory medications. Although chronic disease can affect healing, this answer is too vague to be useful. Not all sick children are anemic. Wound healing definitely would be affected in this child.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
This child has impetigo, which is treated in one of two ways. For limited lesions (which this child has), topical Bactroban is appropriate. For widespread lesions, Augmentin is one of the antibiotics used. Azithromycin and doxycycline are not used.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
