Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Salicylic acid is readily absorbed through the skin, and systemic toxicity can result. Peeling and drying are not desired effects of salicylic acid. Tinnitus is a symptom of systemic toxicity. Tissue injury is likely in any concentration above 6.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Topical glucocorticoids can be absorbed systemically and cause adverse effects. To minimize systemic and local adverse effects, the medication should be applied sparingly. Parents should be taught to avoid tight-fitting diapers. The cream should be rubbed gently into the skin. Occlusive dressings increase the risk of adverse effects. Putting the diaper on tightly creates an occlusive dressing.
