Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, D, F
The eczematous lesions of atopic dermatitis are intensely pruritic. Scratching can lead to new lesions and secondary infection; an antihistamine can be used. Keeping the skin hydrated is a goal of treating atopic dermatitis. Applying an emollient immediately after a bath helps to trap moisture and prevent moisture loss. Using warm compresses to relieve discomfort, bathing the baby in a bubble bath, and using fabric softener are not appropriate suggestions for this condition.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, E, F
The lesions of atopic dermatitis are generalized in the infant. They are most commonly on the cheeks, scalp, trunk, and extensor surfaces of the extremities. Lesions do not generally occur on the buttocks and the back.
