Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Scald burns, caused by hot liquids or steam, are the most common in children due to their curiosity and lack of coordination (e.g., pulling hot water off stoves). 'Thermal' is a broad category, but scalds are specifically frequent.
Question 3 of 5
Which intervention should the nurse discuss with the client diagnosed with tinea pedis reporting intense itching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Washing and drying feet twice daily prevents fungal growth. Itraconazole is for tinea unguium, OTC powders are adjunctive, and socks help but washing is the primary intervention.
Question 4 of 5
The client diagnosed with male pattern baldness is prescribed finasteride. When should the nurse evaluate for effectiveness of the medication?
