Which primary lesions are associated with acne caused by sebum blockage in hair follicles?

Furuncles.

Carbuncles.

Comedones.

Striae.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

Choice A rationale

Furuncles, also known as boils, are deep folliculitis caused by bacterial infection, not sebum blockage.

Choice B rationale

Carbuncles are clusters of furuncles connected under the skin and are also caused by bacterial infection, not sebum blockage.

Choice C rationale

Comedones are primary lesions of acne caused by the blockage of hair follicles by sebum and keratin. They can be open (blackheads) or closed (whiteheads).

Choice D rationale

Striae, also known as stretch marks, are caused by the tearing of the dermis due to rapid stretching of the skin and are not related to sebum blockage in hair follicles.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Scoliosis is identified by a lateral curve of the spine, resulting in uneven shoulders and prominent scapula when bending forward. These physical findings are characteristic of scoliosis, aiding its diagnosis.

Choice B rationale

Muscular dystrophy causes symmetrical muscle weakening, not the asymmetry of scoliosis. It does not present with the specific spinal curvature described.

Choice C rationale

Kyphosis involves a rounded upper back, not a lateral spinal curve. It leads to a hunched posture rather than the shoulder and scapula asymmetry seen in scoliosis.

Choice D rationale

Lordosis is characterized by an exaggerated inward curve of the lower back, not affecting shoulder and scapula symmetry as in scoliosis. It primarily involves the lumbar spine, not causing the described physical findings.

A. Provide autolytic debridement. B. Decrease epidermal resurfacing. C. Enhance the absorption of topical medications. D. Promote the formation of a protective scab that traps excess exudate. E. Promote the formation of a protective scab that traps excess exudate.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Autolytic debridement is the natural process by which the body breaks down and removes dead tissue. Moisture-retentive dressings create an optimal environment for this process, facilitating wound healing.

Choice B rationale

Decreasing epidermal resurfacing is not a recognized benefit of moisture-retentive dressings. These dressings aim to promote healing, not inhibit epidermal growth.

Choice C rationale

While moisture-retentive dressings can help with the absorption of topical medications, this is not their main advantage. The primary benefit is creating a conducive environment for autolytic debridement.

Choice D rationale

Promoting the formation of a protective scab that traps excess exudate is not the main advantage of moisture-retentive dressings. In fact, these dressings help manage exudate and reduce the risk of infection without forming a scab.
