Li is a 6-month-old infant with severe eczema. She would benefit from topical corticosteroid therapy. Instructions for using topical corticosteroids in children include:
 
  1. Apply liberally to all areas with eczema.
  2. Double the frequency of application when the eczema is severe.
  3. Apply sparingly to eczema areas.
  4. Cover the eczema area with an occlusive dressing after applying a corticosteroid.

Question 2

Drew is a 17-year-old competitive runner who presents with complaint of pain in his hip that occurred after he fell while running. His only medical problem is severe acne for which he takes isotretinoin (Accutane).
 
  With this history what would you be concerned for?
  1. He may have pulled a muscle and needs to rest to recover.
  2. He is at risk for bone injuries and needs to be evaluated for fracture.
  3. Isotretinoin interacts with ibuprofen which is the pain medication of choice.
  4. Teen athletes are at risk for repetitive stress injuries.
