Answer to Question 1

B
Response:
Invasive burn cellulitis results in the burn developing a dark brown, black, or purplish color with a discharge and foul odor. In burn wound cellulitis, the area around the burn becomes increasingly red, swollen, and painful early in the course of burn management. Burn impetigo is characterized by multifocal small superficial abscesses. Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome is not a burn infection, although it is managed similarly to burns.

Answer to Question 2

B
Response:
Candidal diaper rash would require a fungicide. The nurse would expect to administer topical antifungals as ordered. Corticosteroids are not typically recommended for young infants and are used for atopic dermatitis and certain cases of contact dermatitis. Antibiotics would be ineffective against fungal infections. Retinoids are indicated for moderate to severe acne.
