Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Emollients will not stop the pain of the sunburn.
Rationale 2: The client does not need a prescription pain medication.

Rationale 4: A local anesthetic will relieve the pain and allow the neighbor to sleep..

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Rationale 2: The deepest epidermal sublayer, the stratum basale, not the dermis, supplies the epidermis with new cells.
Rationale 3: The deepest epidermal sublayer, the stratum basale, not the stratum corneum, supplies the epidermis with new cells.
Rationale 4: The deepest epidermal sublayer, the stratum basale, not the stratum germinativum, supplies the epidermis with new cells.
