Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Diaper candidiasis is treated with an antifungal cream (Nystatin). An oral antifungal agent may be given to clear the candidiasis from the intestines. Bacitracin is for an infection caused by staphylococcus. Mild diaper rash is treated with a barrier such as Desitin. Moderate diaper rash is treated with hydrocortisone ointment.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,3,5
Rationale: The adolescent should be taught to wash skin with mild soap and water twice a day, to avoid picking or squeezing acne lesions, and to avoid sun exposure if on tetracycline. Using astringents and scrubbing vigorously can exacerbate acne. Tretinoin (Retin-A) should be applied sparingly (pea-size doses).
