| C) | Merkel cells | |
| D) | Dermis | |
| Ans: | A | |

| D) | Bacitracin and polymyxin B | |

| C) | “Be sure that each child wears a hat at the beach.” | |
| D) | “Apply Neosporin to any skin abrasions your children get.” | |
| Ans: | B | |
| Feedback: | ||
| Dermatologists recommend sunscreen preparations that block both UVA and UVB and have a sun protective factor of SPF value 30 or higher. It is unnecessary to avoid all outdoor locations. The mother should apply a hat, but this advice is not the most important health promotion intervention; this does not prevent sun damage to most skin surfaces. The mother should be cautious with the application of Neosporin. | ||
| 4. | A 17-year-old woman is prescribed isotretinoin (Accutane) for severe acne vulgaris. Which of the following is the most important intervention related to the administration of this medication? | |

| B) | Administer the medication on an empty stomach to decrease discomfort. | |
| C) | The tablets should be crushed if they are too large to swallow. | |
| D) | Administer a vitamin A supplement daily to enhance effectiveness. | |
| Ans: | A | |
| Feedback: | ||
| The administration of retinoids requires adequate contraceptive practices in women. Retinoids should be given with food, not on an empty stomach. The tablets should not be crushed. The patient should not take vitamin A or a multivitamin because of the retinoid toxicity. | ||
| 5. | A college sophomore has sought care because of her worsening acne. Before beginning a medical regime that includes a retinoid, which of the following laboratory tests must be negative? | |
| A) | Throat culture | |
| B) | Skin culture | |
| C) | Stool for occult blood | |
| D) | Pregnancy test | |
| Ans: | D | |
| Feedback: | ||
| The female patient should have a negative pregnancy test before beginning retinoid therapy. It is not necessary to have a negative throat culture or skin culture. If the patient has a positive stool for occult blood, the cause should be determined but is not affected by retinoid therapy. | ||
