Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The most common adverse effects of steroid and steroid-antibiotic combinations are overgrowth of organisms, delayed healing, and contact dermatitis. These can be reduced by limiting treat-ment to no more than 4 days.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Emollients and lubricants are oily or fatty substances used to keep the skin soft and prevent wa-ter evaporation. They lubricate psoriatic plaques, for example, thereby easing the removal of scales and reducing formation of fissures in intertriginous areas.
