Answer to Question 1

C, D, E
The nurse should carefully avoid disturbing blisters, remove jewelry from injured limbs, and de-termine the causative agent of the burn. Clothing that is stuck to burn areas is not removed until the patient is admitted to the hospital. The nurse should apply a sterile dry (not wet) dressing.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D
Tinea pedis is a common fungal infection. Wearing clean, breathable socks and shoes that allow ventilation are helpful in managing a recurrence, along with use of clean towels and careful at-tention to hygiene. An antibacterial ointment is not helpful in treating a fungal infection.
