Answer to Question 1

D
Mild acne consists of a lesion count of less than 30 with less than 15 pustules. Benzoyl peroxide and topical clindamycin are both indicated for treatment of mild to moderate acne and are first-line choices. Topical tretinoin is used as a second-line or third-line treatment. Oral antibiotics are used when topical antibiotics fail. Salicylic acid is an appropriate first-line treatment, but because this patient has pustular lesions, topical antibiotics must be included.

Answer to Question 2

D
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) is a very fast regular rate and rhythm. This patient is becoming decompensated and should be referred to the emergency department for evaluation and treatment. The primary care NP should not treat this in the clinic or as an outpatient until the patient is stable.
