Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C
A child diagnosed with ringworm will require teaching regarding antifungal medications. Griseofulvin (Fulvicin) and ketaconazole (Selenium) are appropriate medications to include in the teaching session. The other medications are not used to treat ringworm.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D, E
This child has two manifestations referred to as CREST syndrome (Raynaud's phenomenon and esophageal dysmotility). The other three signs are calcinosis (formation of calcium deposits under the skin), sclerodactyly (stiff skin over the hands), and telangiectasias (tiny broken capillaries on skin). Fungal nail infections and oral thrush are not related.
