Answer to Question 1
A
Feedback:
Nystatin is an effective antifungal drug for oral thrush. The medication should be dropped into the mouth after feedings so it will remain in contact with the lesions rather than being washed away immediately by a feeding. The medication should not be given before meals or mixed with orange juice or milk.
Answer to Question 2
B
Feedback:
To relieve the itchiness of a rash, the child should be encouraged to have an adequate fluid intake to maintain good hydration because dry skin increases discomfort. Cold cloths or compresses applied to itchy areas are appropriate. Heat makes the itch worse. Baking soda should be used when bathing in lukewarm water. Hot water and harsh soap will irritate the rash. The child should be dressed in light cotton clothing so overheating and perspiration does not occur. Perspiration makes the itch worse. Denim pants and long-sleeved shirt would make the child very uncomfortable.
