Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The nurse should assess the teen for compliance with the medication regimen, because it takes at least 6 weeks for this medication to work. Due to the lengthy treatment time and the fact that teens are often noncompliant, this would be the nurse's first step. If the medication has been used appropriately, discussing a change would be correct. This drug is not give via IM injection.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Atopic dermatitis is often seen in children with allergies and asthma. In those conditions, levels of IgE are elevated, so this correlation helps confirm the diagnosis if it is in question. The other answers are inaccurate.
