Answer to Question 1

B
Because of the danger of absorption through the skin and potential for neurotoxicity, antilice treatment must be used with caution. A child with many open lesions can absorb enough to cause seizures. Antilice products are not known to be nephrotoxic or ototoxic. Products that treat lice are not known to cause bone marrow depression.

Answer to Question 2

B
The child with herpetic gingivostomatitis is at risk for fluid volume deficit. Painful lesions on the mouth make drinking unpleasant and undesirable, with subsequent dehydration becoming a real danger. An oral herpetic infection does not affect joint function. Herpetic gingivostomatitis is not a chronic disorder that would affect the child's long-term growth pattern. Although constipation could be caused by dehydration, it is more important to assess urine output, skin turgor, and mucous membranes to identify dehydration before constipation is a problem.
