A client with a skin disorder is undergoing electrodesiccation. For which of the following disorders is this a common treatment?
A) Warts
B) Impetigo
C) Carbuncle
D) Scabies
A
Feedback:
Destruction with electrodesiccation (treatment with short duration, high-frequency electrical current) and curettage (scraping or suctioning) is the best treatment for common and filiform warts. Impetigo is treated with systemic antibiotics (e.g., dicloxacillin). A physician may carefully incise and drain large carbuncles after they come to a point. Application of the prescribed medication, such as lindane (Kwell), to the entire body from the neck down is the treatment of choice for scabies.
