Question 4 of 5

A child comes to the clinic with a skin rash. The maculopapular lesions are distributed around the mouth and have honey-colored drainage. The caregiver states that the rash is getting worse and seems to spread with the child's scratching. Which of the following advisory comments should be given?

A. The history and presentation might indicate chickenpox, a highly contagious disease. B. The lesions might indicate a noncontagious infection that does not require isolation. C. The history and presentation might indicate an infectious illness called impetigo. D. The lesions are not contagious unless others have open wounds or lesions themselves.

Question 5 of 5

When a client has a chest drainage system in place, where should the system be placed?

A. above the client's head B. at the client's shoulders C. at the level of the chest D. below the level of the chest
