Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: A systemic antibiotic will be given for severe impetigo because it is a bacterial infection. Dicloxacillin is used in treatment of skin and soft-tissue infections. It is specific for treating staphylococcal infections. Rifampin is an antitubercular agent, sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim are used as a prophylaxis against Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP), and metronidazole is used to treat anaerobic and protozoic infections.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Candida albicans is frequently the underlying cause of severe diaper rash. When a primary or secondary infection with Candida albicans occurs, the rash has bright red scaly plaques with sharp margins. Small papules and pustules may be seen, along with satellite lesions. Even though diaper dermatitis can be caused by impetigo, urine and feces, and infrequent diapering, the lesions and persistent characteristics are common for Candida.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
