Answer to Question 1

C
Thrush, a fungal infection caused by Candida albicans, is sometimes picked up from the mother's vaginal secretions during delivery. It appears as gray-white patches on the tongue and mucous membranes that cannot quickly be removed.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The nurse is assessing if a patient is able to properly take a medication that is prescribed three doses per day. The statement that the patient will take one dose before breakfast, lunch, and dinner is evidence that the patient will be able to safely take the medication. Taking three pills together, taking a pill with symptoms, and taking a pill in the morning and at night indicates that the patient will not be able to adhere to the prescribed medication schedule.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water.
