Correct Answer: C

Question 2 of 5
The clinic nurse is assessing the 12-year-old who has multiple scaly-ringed lesions on the face, neck, and arms. Which is the most important question that the nurse should ask?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Scaly-ringed lesions suggest ringworm, often transmitted from pets, making animal exposure a key question.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for the 5-year-old with rubeola. Which intervention by the nurse best ensures the child's comfort?

Rationale: Rubeola (measles) causes photophobia; dimming lights reduces discomfort. Baby oil baths, warm mist tents, and decongestants do not address primary symptoms.
Question 4 of 5
The mother of the 13-year-old female tells the clinic nurse, "I hope that no one tries to get me to agree to have my daughter get that new vaccine that is supposed to prevent some STIs. My daughter is not and will not be having sex until she is married." What is the nurse's best response?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Exploring the mother's knowledge about the HPV vaccine (Gardasil) opens a dialogue to address misconceptions and provide education.
