Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Measures to reduce the discomfort of herpes lesions include cleansing the lesions two or three times a day with warm water and soap. Lesions should be dried using a hair dryer turned to a cool setting. It is important to wear loose cotton clothing that will not trap moisture. Fluids that increase urine acidity such as cranberry juice should be avoided.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, C

Clients allergic to penicillin are given oral doses of doxycycline or tetracycline for 14 days for the treatment of syphilis. Gentamicin, amoxicillin, and erythromycin are not prescribed for the treatment of syphilis.
