Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale 1:Assuring the parent that symptoms will be cured and the child will outgrow or have no further symptomatology would be premature at this point.
Rationale 2:About 60 of these infants continue to have symptoms into adulthood.
Rationale 3: Ten percent of infants and young children experience symptoms of dermatitis. Roughly 60 of these infants continue to have symptoms into adulthood.
Rationale 4:Assuring the parent that symptoms will be cured and the child will outgrow or have no further symptomatology would be premature at this point.

Global Rationale: Ten percent of infants and young children experience symptoms of dermatitis. Roughly 60 of these infants continue to have symptoms into adulthood.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 4

Rationale 1: Crusty and cracked areas can be caused by lack of moisture, extremely dry conditions, or severe temperatures; areas affected by lack of moisture include the lips, corners of the mouth, nose, area between the fingers and toes, and joint areas.
Rationale 2: There are many types of bacterial, fungal, parasitic, and viral infections that occur throughout the body; ticks, lice, and mites are common problems associated with hairy skin.
Rationale 3: Blisters and calluses can be caused by improperly fitting shoes, or clothing can cause mechanical stress and abrasion, leading to these symptoms.
Rationale 4: Lack of attention to an area of the body for a long time can cause unhealthy skin, as occurs in elderly, bedridden patients and those who are wheelchair-bound.
Rationale 5:Acne and blemishesisincorrec t because these are not associated with stress or injury to the skin.
