Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) protects children against S. pneumoniae and should be administered to all children to prevent otitis media. Antihistamines and decongestants have been shown to be ineffective in preventing otitis media. Removing cerumen helps to prevent otitis externa.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Gentle cleansing is one of the chief nonpharmacologic treatments of acne. Vigorous scrubbing should be avoided. Topical vitamin D is sometimes used to treat psoriasis.
