Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
During treatment with isotretinoin, the patient's skin may become sensitized to ultraviolet light, therefore instructions to use sunscreen and wear protective clothing while outside are important. The nurse also should advise the patient that side effects associated with isotretinoin are nose-bleeds; inflammation of the lips and eyes; dryness or itching of the skin, nose, and mouth; and pain, tenderness or stiffness in muscles, bones, and joints.
A less common reaction is hair loss, not increased hair growth.
Isotretinoin does not cause sores in the mouth.
