Answer to Question 1

2
Treatment for tinea versicolor includes the use of selenium shampoo. The nurse should not instruct the client to do nothing since treatment does exist for this condition. Oral antifungal preparations are not necessary for this condition. Warm compresses will not help this condition.

Answer to Question 2

1
Pseudofolliculitis barbae is a foreign body reaction to hair in individuals with a genetic inclination for curly, spiral-shaped hair. Prevention requires the client to avoid close shaving. This is what the nurse should instruct this client. This client is to wash the hair prior to shaving. This condition does not need an oral or topical antibiotic.
