Question 3 of 5
Based on the data of a 78-year-old male with a chronic leg wound prescribed warfarin and VAC treatment, which action should the nurse take first?

A nurse cares for a client with burn injuries. Which intervention should the nurse implement to appropriately reduce the client's pain?

Rationale: IV morphine is appropriate for pain management in burn injuries due to absorption issues.
Question 5 of 5
When performing a skin assessment, the nurse notes several angiomas on the chest of an older patient. Which action should the nurse take next?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Angiomas are a common occurrence as patients get older, but they may occur with systemic problems such as liver disease. The patient may want to see a dermatologist to have the angiomas removed, but this is not the initial action by the nurse. The nurse may need to teach the patient about the effects of aging on the skin and about the effects of sun exposure, but the initial action should be further assessment.
