Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Ringworm is spread by both direct and indirect contact. Infected children should wear protective caps at night to avoid transfer of ringworm to bedding. Ringworm is infectious. Because ringworm is easily transmitted, it is not a sign of uncleanliness. It can be transmitted by seats with head rests, gym mats, and animal-to-human transmission. The drug griseofulvin is indicated for a prolonged course, possibly several months.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Local destructive therapy is individualized according to location, type, and number; surgical removal, electrocautery, curettage, cryotherapy, caustic solutions, x-ray treatment, and laser therapies are used. Vaccination is prophylaxis for warts, not a treatment. Corticosteroids and specific antibiotic therapy are not effective in the treatment of warts.
