Explanation:

Question 11

Tinea versicolor is a fungal infection. The correct management involves using selenium sulfide 2.5% lotion or shampoo applied weekly for 2 - 4 weeks (first option). Oral antifungal (fluconazole) is for more severe cases or when topical fails, ketoconazole 2% shampoo is used as a shampoo (not applied to lesions twice daily), and sun exposure isn't a treatment.

For a child with upper respiratory tract infection - related nasal congestion and discharge, saline drops are a safe, non - medicated option to help with symptoms. Decongestant drops are not recommended for young children, antibiotics are not used for viral URIs (most common), and zinc supplements are not a standard recommendation for nasal symptoms of URI.

Answer:

A. Application of selenium sulfide 2.5% lotion twice weekly for 2 to 4 weeks (Note: The option text might have a typo, but based on tinea versicolor treatment, selenium sulfide 2.5% (lotion or shampoo) applied weekly or twice - weekly for 2 - 4 weeks is correct. Among the given options, this is the most appropriate as the other options: oral fluconazole is not first - line for tinea versicolor, ketoconazole 2% is used as a shampoo (not applied to lesions twice daily), and sun exposure isn't a treatment.)
