Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
A macule is a flat, discolored area on the skin. A papule is a small, raised bump on the skin. A vesicle is a fluid-filled bump on the skin. Scaling is flaking of the skin.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Depression can occur as a result of body image disturbances with severe acne. The nurse should provide emotional support to adolescents undergoing acne therapy and refer teens for counseling if necessary. Telling the girl that her condition is likely to improve in a year or two is not helpful. Asking the girl whether she uses her medicine every day or reminding her that her scars can be addressed with dermabrasion does not address her feelings of sadness and distress.
