For the first scenario, the priority nursing diagnosis for the 28-year-old HIV positive patient with burning pain and lesions over the face would be:<br /><br />b. Impaired skin integrity<br /><br />The presence of vesicles with an erythematous base on the patient's face and eyelid indicates impaired skin integrity, which is a priority concern in this case. The patient's complaint of burning pain and the physical examination findings suggest that the skin integrity is compromised, and this needs to be addressed as a priority.<br /><br />For the second scenario, the most effective management for the 22-year-old male patient with a rash on the face that appears as oozing, thin-roofed vesicles with a honey-colored crust would be:<br /><br />a. Acyclovir ointment<br /><br />The description of the rash as oozing, thin-roofed vesicles with a honey-colored crust is consistent with herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection. Acyclovir ointment is an antiviral medication that is effective in treating HSV infections. It helps to reduce the duration and severity of the outbreak and can prevent future outbreaks. Steroids, antibiotics, and antifungal creams are not appropriate for managing HSV infections.
