Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Products containing lindane, a toxic ingredient, often cause adverse reactions. Instruct patients who have head lice to shampoo thoroughly with pediculicide (shampoo available at drugstores) in cold water, comb thoroughly with a fine-toothed comb, and discard the comb. A dilute solution of vinegar and water helps loosen nits.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Vesicles are circumscribed, elevated skin lesions filled with serous fluid that measure less than 1 cm. Wheals are irregularly shaped, elevated areas of superficial localized edema that vary in size. They are common with bug bits and hives. Papules are palpable, circumscribed, solid elevations in the skin that are smaller than 1 cm. Pustules are elevations of skin similar to vesicles, but they are filled with pus.
