Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who has tinea pedis. The child's parent asks the nurse what this infection is commonly called. The nurse should respond with which of the following common names?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Shingles: This is a viral infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which also causes chickenpox. It typically manifests as a painful rash that develops into fluid-filled blisters. Athlete's foot: This is a fungal infection of the skin on the feet, particularly between the toes. It causes itching, burning, and cracked, flaking skin. Fever blister: Also known as a cold sore, this is a viral infection caused by the herpes simplex virus. It typically appears as a cluster of small, fluid-filled blisters on or around the lips. Pinworms: This is a parasitic infection caused by tiny, white worms that infect the intestines. It commonly causes anal itching, particularly at night, due to the female worms laying eggs around the anal area.
