Answer to Question 1

Merci beaucoup <3

Answer to Question 2

D
This child has symptoms of scabies, and permethrin is the first treatment of choice. Benzyl alco-hol is used to treat head lice. Ivermectin is an oral medication that can be used but is not a first-line treatment. Malathion may be used for scabies but is not the first choice.
