Seminar Questions:

1. William, a 20 year old, has been troubled with severe skin problems since his early teens.
He calls the doctor’s office to ask for a prescription for a new treatment product advertised
on TV. Discuss how advertising over the counter and prescription remedies for conditions
such as psoriasis, athlete’s foot, jock itch, and acne can influence patient expectations and
decision making.

2. An 18 year old college student, Amy, called for an appointment because she has noticed
several small lesions on her face. She said that they are very itchy and she has been
scratching the area. Because she thought it was dermatitis, she has been treating it with an
over the counter moisturizer for dry, itchy skin. The doctor diagnosed it as impetigo and
prescribed an ointment and cream for her use. What patient education should you provide
to Amy?

3. During an office visit, 11 year old Bobby is diagnosed with pediculosis, or lice. What
actions can be taken to help prevent the spread of the disease?
