receiving antibiotics, immunosuppressants, and corticosteroids. Both of the child's parents have a smoking history.

rubbing.
The nurse should suspect which of the following conditions?

Dermatitis

Candidiasis

Herpes simplex

Squamous cell carcinoma.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

The nurse should suspect candidiasis, also known as oral thrush.
Candidiasis is a fungal infection that can occur in the mouth and is characterized by the presence of a white, milky plaque that does not come oﬀ with rubbing.
The child’s use of antibiotics, immunosuppressants, and corticosteroids can increase the risk of developing candidiasis.
Choice A is incorrect because dermatitis is an inﬂammation of the skin and
would not present as a white plaque in the mouth.
Choice C is incorrect because herpes simplex typically presents as painful blisters or sores in the mouth.
Choice D is incorrect because squamous cell carcinoma typically presents as a ﬁrm, painless growth, or ulcer in the mouth.

B. Watching for manifestations of infection can help detect any worsening or recurrence of the infection.
C. Emptying the bladder completely with each void can help prevent urine from remaining in the bladder and causing infection.
D. Wiping the perineal area front to back can help prevent bacteria from
spreading to the urethra.
E. Wearing cotton underpants can help keep the area dry and reduce the risk of infection.

A. Intact epidermis. B. Dry surface. C. Sensitive to touch. D. Wound blanches with pressure. E. Blisters.

Correct Answer is ["C","E"]

Explanation

Partial-thickness burns can be described by redness, swelling, and blisters. The skin is usually reddened and may be sensitive to touch.

Choice A is not the answer because a partial-thickness burn aﬀects both the outer layer of skin (epidermis) and the layer beneath it (dermis), so the epidermis would not be intact.

Choice B is not the answer because partial-thickness burns can have a moist

surface due to blistering.

Choice D is not the answer because blanching with pressure is not a common

ﬁnding for partial-thickness burns.
