Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Cleansing is one of the chief methods to decrease the irritation that has been caused by contact dermatitis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
To prevent damage to the surrounding skin, the wart should be covered with non-porous tape after the application of cantharidin is allowed to dry. This procedure can be repeated in 1 to 2 weeks. Gauze dressings are porous and would allow the solution to come in contact with intact skin. Cryotherapy is a separate procedure and not done after treatment with cantharidin. Burrow's soaks are not indicated.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
