Fundamentals of Nursing Skin Integrity and Wound Care NCLEX Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A toddler has a few vesicular lesions on his hands that rupture, producing a honey-colored, sticky exudate. Based on this assessment, which medication does the nurse teach the parents about?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: This child has impetigo, which is treated in one of two ways. For limited lesions(which this child has), topical Bactroban is appropriate.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse provides anticipatory guidance to parents telling them the maximum water temperature for bathing children is which temperature?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The maximum safe water temperature for bathing children is 120°F (48.9°C) to prevent scald burns. Higher temperatures like 140°F can cause severe burns quickly, especially in young children with sensitive skin.
Question 3 of 5
The client is prescribed methotrexate for a diagnosis of psoriasis. Which data should the nurse monitor?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Methotrexate causes hematopoietic depression (leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia), so CBC monitoring is essential. It's not nephrotoxic, so GFR and BUN/creatinine aren't priorities, nor is iron-binding capacity affected.
Question 4 of 5
The client diagnosed with acute herpes zoster is prescribed oral acyclovir. Which statement by the client indicates the client needs more medication teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Acyclovir shortens symptoms but doesn't cure herpes zoster, indicating a need for more teaching. Five times daily, 7-10 days, and eye involvement awareness are correct.
