Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Salicylic acid is readily absorbed through the skin, and systemic toxicity can result. Peeling and drying are not desired effects of salicylic acid. Tinnitus is a symptom of systemic toxicity. Tissue injury is likely in any concentration above 6.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Topical glucocorticoids can be absorbed systemically and cause adverse effects. To minimize systemic and local adverse effects, the medication should be applied sparingly. Parents should be taught to avoid tight-fitting diapers. The cream should be rubbed gently into the skin. Occlusive dressings increase the risk of adverse effects. Putting the diaper on tightly creates an occlusive dressing.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
