Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: The medication does not need to be left on the body for 24 hours.
Rationale 2: One application of the medication should be sufficient.
Rationale 3: Telling the client to apply it topically is not specific enough.
Rationale 4: Leaving the medication on the body for 814 hours is necessary for the medication to be effective.
Global Rationale: Leaving the medication on the body for 814 hours is necessary for the medication to be effective. One application of the medication should be sufficient. Telling the client to apply it topically is not specific enough.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: It is not necessary to avoid the sun, but precautions should be taken.
Rationale 2: The SPF should be at least 15; higher is better.
Rationale 3: Sunscreens should be water-resistant, not water-soluble.
Rationale 4: Lotion or oil keeps the skin moist but would not prevent another sunburn.
Global Rationale: The SPF should be at least 15; higher is better. It is not necessary to avoid the sun, but precautions should be taken. Sunscreens should be water-resistant, not water-soluble. Lotion or oil keeps the skin moist but would not prevent another sunburn.
