Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Metronidazole is an antibiotic effective against anaerobic bacteria and certain parasites. It is prescribed to treat giardiasis. Zithromax is an antibiotic frequently used to treat respiratory infections. Zovirax is an antiviral medication and Pediazole is an antibiotic used to treat respiratory and skin infections.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Because of the length of time between infestation and physical symptoms (30 to 60 days), all persons who were in close contact with the affected child need treatment. Families need to know that although the mite will be killed, the rash and the itch will not be eliminated until the stratum corneum is replaced, which takes approximately 2 to 3 weeks. Aggressive housecleaning is not necessary, but surface vacuuming of heavily used rooms by a person with crusted scabies is recommended. The prescribed cream should be thoroughly and gently massaged into all skin surfaces (not just the areas that have a rash) from the head to the soles of the feet.
