Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Candida albicans infection produces perianal inflammation and a maculopapular rash with satellite lesions that may cross the inguinal folds. Impetigo is a bacterial infection that spreads peripherally in sharply marginated irregular outlines. Eruptions involving the skin in contact with the diaper but sparing the folds are likely to be caused by chemical irritation, especially urine and feces.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The brown recluse spider has venom that is toxic enough to be harmful. The father should take the child to the emergency department for immediate treatment. Warm compresses increase the circulation to the area and facilitate the spread of the venom. The black widow spider does not have a stinger. Corticosteroid cream has no effect on venom.
