A mоther brings in her unimmunized, оtherwise heаlthy, 7-yeаr-оld dаughter to the pediatric office where you are the charge nurse. She tells you the girl had her school concert about two weeks ago and had been totally fine. The child has nearly 100 lesions all over her body, mainly localized to her trunk. Most of the lesions are vesicular, but a few have scabbed over. According to the mother, her daughter broke out in this rash about 5 days ago. She never experienced a fever, but the rash seems to be incurably itchy. As the mother is telling you this, you see her daughter itch open one of the vesicles, revealing a clear fluid. 1. Based on the patient's symptoms, you suspect that she will be diagnosed with Smallpox, Shingles, Chickenpox, OR Measles? Explain your reasoning. 2. The mother demands antibiotics to treat her daughter's infection. Do you prescribe antibiotics or not. Explain your reasoning, including known treatments for the disease you selected in question 1. 3. While you are explaining the treatment process to the mother, one of your nurses begins calling the state health department to report a suspected case of Smallpox infection. You stop her, citing that Smallpox has been eradicated since 1977 and has significantly different symptoms than what the little girl is exhibiting. If the little girl was showing signs of Smallpox, we would see a) what symptoms caused by b) what virus?
