head to toe, since the scabies can infest the hairline of adults.
The rash may still be present for several weeks after treatment.
A child's optic assessment data include unilateral eyelid edema,
warmth, and erythema but no pain with ocular movement is
reported. Which characteristic is most likely true about this
child's infection?
a. Decreased visual acuity may occur.
b. Increased intraocular pressure will be present.
c. Optic nerve compromise is a complication.
d. The eye is typically spared without conjunctivitis.
ANS: D
This child has symptoms of preseptal cellulitis in which the eye is
typically spared. The other findings are consistent with orbital
cellulitis.
When recommending ongoing treatment for a patient who has

,Page 3 of 328
a. Aluminum sulfate solution
b. Burrow's solution compresses
c. Cornstarch application
d. Nystatin cream
e. Topical steroid cream
ANS: A, B
Aluminum sulfate solution and other drying agents are
recommended, and Burrow's solution compresses may be
soothing. Cornstarch is ineffective and may result in fungal
growth. Nystatin cream is used only for candida intertrigo.
Topical steroids may promote infection.
A patient is diagnosed with herpetic whitlow and in a 2 weeks
follow - up evaluation, is noted to have paronychial inflammation
of the tendon sheath in one finger that has responded to
treatment. What is a priority treatment for this patient?

b. Obtain a consult for incision and drainage of the lesion.
c. Order a creatinine clearance test to evaluate renal function.
d. Refer the patient to the emergency department.
ANS: D
, Page 4 of 328
When paronychial infection of the tendon sheath is suspected in
patients with herpetic whitlow, they should be immediately
referred to the emergency department for a surgical referral.
Oral antiviral medications are given for severe cases and
recurrences, but the emergent situation is a priority. Incision and
drainage may lead to superinfection of longer healing. Creatinine
clearance is ordered when beginning oral antiviral therapy.
A patient diagnosed with recurrent herpetic whitlow is counseled
about management of symptoms and prevention of
complications. What will be included in this teaching? (Select all
that apply.)
a. Begin antiviral medications within 3 days of onset of
symptoms.
b. Contact the provider if symptoms persist longer than 3 weeks.
c. Cool compresses may help with comfort and decrease
erythema.
d. Keep hands away from the mouth and eyes to prevent
inoculation.
e. Wear gloves when preparing foods to prevent spread to others.
ANS: B, C, D
Patients with herpetic whitlow should be seen by a physician if
symptoms are recalcitrant to treatment after 3 weeks. Cool
