Question 1

Pregnant women who contract rubella during the first trimester may have a fetus with congenital defects.

Accepted Answer

Rubella infection during the first trimester of pregnancy can cause congenital rubella syndrome in the fetus, leading to several birth defects including deafness, cataracts, heart defects, and intellectual disabilities.

Question 2

Which bacterial infection has as its source of infection a staff member in a newborn nursery or a family member with a pustule?&#10;A) Atopic dermatitis&#10;B) Staphylococcal scalded-skin syndrome&#10;C) Bullous impetigo&#10;D) Vesicular impetigo

Accepted Answer

Bullous impetigo is a bacterial skin infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus. It is highly contagious and can spread through direct contact with an infected individual, including family members or staff members in a newborn nursery. The infection typically starts with a pustule and then develops into a blister that eventually ruptures, leaving a yellow crust. Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that is not caused by a bacterial infection. Staphylococcal scalded-skin syndrome is a rare and severe form of staph infection that typically affects infants and young children but is not usually associated with a specific source of infection. Vesicular impetigo is another form of impetigo that manifests with clear fluid-filled blisters rather than pustules, and it is typically caused by Streptococcus pyogenes rather than Staphylococcus aureus.

Question 3

Scalded-skin syndrome is the result of staphylococcal infection of burned skin.

Accepted Answer

Scalded-skin syndrome is caused by virulent group II staphylococci, which produce an exfoliative toxin that attacks desmoglein and adhesion molecules and causes a separation of the skin just below the granular layer of the epidermis. The toxins are usually produced at body sites other than the skin and arrive at the epidermis through the circulatory system. Staphylococci typically are not found in the skin lesions themselves.

Question 4

How does the nurse describe the skin lesions caused by tinea capitis or tinea corporis?&#10;A) Pink to red coalescing maculopapular rash on the scalp or trunk&#10;B) Vesicles that rupture creating a thin,flat,honey-colored crust&#10;C) Circular (round or oval)with erythema and scaling patches&#10;D) Red papules,vesicles,and pustules in clusters

Accepted Answer

Tinea capitis and tinea corporis typically present as circular (round or oval) patches with erythema and scaling.

Question 5

Which skin disorder has as its hallmark clinical manifestation skin lesions that rupture creating a thin,flat,honey-colored crust?&#10;A) Rubella&#10;B) Tinea capitis&#10;C) Atopic dermatitis&#10;D) Impetigo

Accepted Answer

The hallmark clinical manifestation of impetigo is skin lesions that rupture, creating a thin, flat, honey-colored crust. Rubella presents with a rash of small, red spots that typically begins on the face and spreads to the rest of the body. Tinea capitis causes scaling, itching, and sometimes hair loss on the scalp. Atopic dermatitis presents with dry, itchy, and red patches of skin.

Question 6

What is a common source of tinea corporis?&#10;A) Mites&#10;B) Kittens and puppies&#10;C) Fleas&#10;D) Ticks

Accepted Answer

Tinea corporis, also known as ringworm, is a fungal infection of the skin that is often transmitted by direct contact with an infected animal, particularly kittens and puppies. Mites, fleas, and ticks are not common sources of tinea corporis.

Question 7

In cases of staphylococcal scalded-skin syndrome,the most effective treatment is direct application of antibiotics to the skin.

Accepted Answer

Antibiotics are used to treat the underlying staph infection that is causing the scalded-skin syndrome, but direct application to the skin is not the most effective treatment. Treatment typically involves hospitalization, intravenous antibiotics, and management of fluid and electrolyte imbalances. Pain management and wound care are also important components of treatment.

Question 8

Which clinical manifestation is considered the hallmark of atopic dermatitis?&#10;A) Papular rash&#10;B) High fever&#10;C) Vesicles that burst and form crusts&#10;D) Itching

Accepted Answer

Itching is considered the hallmark of atopic dermatitis. Other clinical manifestations may include papular rash, vesicles that burst and form crusts, and red, dry, and scaly skin. However, itching is a characteristic symptom that is present in almost all cases of atopic dermatitis.

Question 9

What is the most significant complication of streptococcal impetigo?&#10;A) Acute glomerulonephritis&#10;B) Valvular heart disease&#10;C) Streptococcal pneumonia&#10;D) Liver failure

Accepted Answer

The most significant complication of streptococcal impetigo is acute glomerulonephritis, which is an immune-mediated inflammation of the kidneys that can result in kidney damage and failure if left untreated. It typically occurs about 1-2 weeks after the initial infection and can present with symptoms such as dark urine, edema, and high blood pressure. Valvular heart disease and streptococcal pneumonia are potential complications of other types of streptococcal infections, but not specifically impetigo. Liver failure is not typically associated with streptococcal impetigo.

Question 10

Fungal disorders of the skin are known as mycoses and when caused by dermatophytes,the mycoses are termed tinea.

Accepted Answer

This statement is true. Fungal disorders of the skin are called mycoses, and if they are caused by dermatophytes specifically, they are commonly referred to as tinea.
