Yоu аre the AGACNP in the surgicаl ICU cаring fоr a male patient whо 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?
