Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 3
A bath mat should be used in the tub because medications may cause the tub to become slippery. The patient should be instructed to stay in the tub for 20 to 30 minutes and immerse the area being treated. The bathroom should be well-ventilated when using medications in a bath. The skin should be blotted and not rubbed with a towel. If itching is not relieved or becomes worse, the health care provider should be contacted.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 4, 5
MRSA infections may be treated with antimicrobial therapy, including trimethoprimsulfame thoxazole (Bactrim), minocycline (Minocin), doxycycline (Vibramycin), or clindamycin (Cleocin). Penicillin (Pen-V-K) is not used to treat MRSA infections.
