Mr. Rogers is a 91-year old resident of a long-term care facility who tells the nurse, "I have an ache in my right foot." He offers an explanation, suggesting, "I must have stepped on something or twisted my ankle. Maybe I got bit by a bug when I was outside yesterday." The nurse notes the medical aspect of Mr. Rogers's right ankle to be reddened, slightly swollen, and warm. His temperature is within normal limits. He has strong pedal pulses bilaterally. Mr. Rogers's ankle is X-rayed and there is no fracture noted. He has full range-of-motion of his right ankle and lower extremity, although the pain in his ankle increases with movement. A Doppler ultrasound rules out a deep vein thrombosis.

2. If it is determined that Mr. Rogers has cellulitis, what treatments will the health care provider most likely describe?
3. If it is determined that Mr. Rogers has gout, what treatments will the health care provider most likely describe?
