Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C
A child diagnosed with ringworm will require teaching regarding antifungal medications. Griseofulvin (Fulvicin) and ketaconazole (Selenium) are appropriate medications to include in the teaching session. The other medications are not used to treat ringworm.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D, E
This child has two manifestations referred to as CREST syndrome (Raynaud's phenomenon and esophageal dysmotility). The other three signs are calcinosis (formation of calcium deposits under the skin), sclerodactyly (stiff skin over the hands), and telangiectasias (tiny broken capillaries on skin). Fungal nail infections and oral thrush are not related.

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.
