shortness of breath. The family nurse practitioner manages this patient by: ordering a
computed tomography scan of the head. Ordering an immediate lateral neck x-ray.
Prescribing systemic antibiotics and cool mist inhalations. Requesting a referral for
evaluation of the larynx.

exacerbations over the past 10 years. Currently, a well-circumscribed erythematous
plaque appears over the patient's left gluteal fold area. The lesion is covered with scales
and has some fissuring. The family nurse practitioner makes a diagnosis of: atopic
dermatitis. Ichthyosis. Psoriasis. Tinea corporis.
