During a psychiatric interview, the PMHNP asks the patient, “Where do you live?” The patient responds: “Well, I’ve been living in my apartment for about five years now. It’s a nice place, but the landlord doesn’t always fix things.

Relative risk (RR) is used to compare the risk of a certain event or outcome occurring between two groups, typically an exposed group and an unexposed group, allowing researchers to understand the strength of the association between a specific exposure (such as a risk factor or treatment) and the outcome of interest (such as a disease). For example, a relative risk greater than 1 indicates that the exposure is associated with a higher risk of the outcome, while a relative risk less than 1 suggests a protective effect of the exposure against the outcome.

You are the AGACNP in the surgical ICU caring for a male patient who underwent emergent repair of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm over 3 weeks ago. He has had a prolonged and complicated postoperative course, including respiratory failure and delirium. The delirium workup included a urine culture, which was positive for Escherichia coli and treated with a 10-day course of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. The antibiotic course finished 3 days ago. He is now extubated, mentally clear, and making slow but forward progress. You are called by the bedside RN to evaluate a new rash. There is a diffuse erythematous maculopapular rash over his upper anterior chest. His arms, stomach, back, and legs are unaffected. He reports a raw burning sensation over the affected area. You note separation of the skin when applying lateral traction. What is the most likely diagnosis?
