Answer to Question 1

B
An over-the-counter steroid has failed to treat this child's dermatitis, so the NP should prescribe something in a higher strength. Triamcinolone is a medium-strength steroid and should be used. The other three are in groups I and II, which are high-strength steroids and are not recommended in children.

Answer to Question 2

A
In patients with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, macroalbuminuria, and renal insufficiency (serum creatinine >1.5 mg/dL), ARBs have been shown to delay the progression of nephropathy. Losartan is an ARB. The other medications are ACE inhibitors.
