Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Lymphangitis is frequently seen in cellulitis. If present, hospitalization is usually required for parenteral antibiotic. Lymphangitis is not associated with folliculitis, impetigo, or staphylococcal scalded skin.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A major nursing consideration related to bacterial skin infections such as impetigo contagiosa is to prevent the spread of the infection and complications. This is done by thorough hand washing before and after contact with the affected child. Corticosteroids are not indicated in bacterial infections. Dressings are usually not indicated. The undermined skin, crusts, and debris are carefully removed after softening with moist compresses. A Wood's lamp is used to detect fluorescent materials in the skin and hair. It is used in certain disease states such as tinea capitis.
