Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Colloidal baths (Alpha Keri, Aveeno) are emollients used to treat widespread eruptions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The Mantoux test is designed to identify people with active tuberculosis, with exposure to tuberculosis, or needing further testing. Positive reaction must have erythema and induration of 9 mm or more in size; a reaction of 5 to 9 mm is questionable, and areas under 5 mm are negative.
