Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Cellulitis is manifested by erythema, pain, edema, and warmth at the site of skin disruption. Red raised hair follicles would indicate folliculitis. Papules progressing to vesicles and a honey-colored exudate would suggest nonbullous impetigo.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Candidal diaper rash would require a fungicide. The nurse would expect to administer topical antifungals as ordered. Corticosteroids are not typically recommended for young infants and are used for atopic dermatitis and certain types of contact dermatitis. Antibiotics would be ineffective against fungal infections. Retinoids are indicated for moderate to severe acne.
