Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
An examthema is an eruption. Blistering is swelling. Pustular is raised and filled with white blood cells. Urticarial is itching.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
This child has manifestations of molluscum contagiosum, a viral infection that generally resolves on its own. Because this is contagious, the bathtub should be disinfected after the child bathes and his or her towels should not be shared. More aggressive treatment is only used for cases that do not resolve or when the lesions become infected.
