Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Topical corticosteroids are used to reduce inflammation when the child has eczema. Topical retinoids are used for acne. Topical antifungals are used for dermatophytoses. Topical antibacterials would be used for problems such as burns.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Nursing care should focus on preventing infection of lesions. Due to impaired skin-barrier function and cutaneous immunity, an infant with eczema is at greater risk for the development of skin infections by organisms. Maintaining adequate nutrition and keeping the infant content are not as high a priority. Antibiotics are not routinely applied to the lesions.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
