Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
If skin flaking occurs, the child should be discouraged from manually peeling the flaked skin as it can cause further injury. Using cool compresses, taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and avoiding hot showers or baths are appropriate measures.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The girl is describing a sprain, which is frequently accompanied by edema. Bruising may or may not be present. The nurse should not attempt to perform passive range of motion on the affected body part. A pulse should be present; if one is not, neurovascular compromise is present.
