Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Topical corticosteroids are used to reduce inflammation when the child has eczema. Topical retinoids are used for acne. Topical antifungals are used for dermatophytoses. Topical antibacterials would be used for problems such as burns.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Nursing care should focus on preventing infection of lesions. Due to impaired skin-barrier function and cutaneous immunity, an infant with eczema is at greater risk for the development of skin infections by organisms. Maintaining adequate nutrition and keeping the infant content are not as high a priority. Antibiotics are not routinely applied to the lesions.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
