Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Genu varum, or bowlegs, can be treated by bracing. The child's stance is not indicative of flatfoot, genu valgum, or femoral torsion.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
D

Feedback:

The course and symptomatology of the child's skin disorder is characteristic of impetigo, which is bacterial in etiology and would likely be treated with a topical antibiotic such as mupirocin.
