If possible, a patient with Stevens–Johnson syndrome should receive treatment in a regional burn center.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a severe skin condition that can lead to extensive skin loss and mucosal damage, similar to burn injuries. Regional burn centers have the expertise and resources to manage such complex cases effectively, including specialized wound care, monitoring for complications, and multidisciplinary care. Therefore, transferring the patient to a burn center can improve outcomes and reduce the risk of complications. Other choices are incorrect because without the specialized care available at a burn center, the patient's condition may worsen, leading to increased morbidity and mortality.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Kidney disease- may be associated with pitting edema. Pitting edema is when pressure on the skin causes an indentation that persists for some time. Kidney disease can lead to fluid retention, causing pitting edema due to impaired kidney function in regulating fluid balance. Shock (A) is characterized by decreased cardiac output, not typically associated with pitting edema. Hypothyroidism (C) can cause nonpitting edema due to accumulation of mucopolysaccharides in the dermis. Severe dehydration (D) leads to turgor loss but not typically pitting edema.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. Applying moisturizing lotion several times a day is recommended for clients with psoriasis to help maintain skin hydration and reduce itching and irritation. It helps to soothe and protect the skin barrier. Showering twice a day (choice A) can strip the skin of natural oils, exacerbating dryness. Soaking in hot water (choice B) can worsen inflammation and dry out the skin. Covering affected areas when in contact with others (choice D) may be necessary for infection control but does not address the primary skin care needs of psoriasis.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, the hypogastric region. The urinary bladder is located in the pelvis, specifically in the hypogastric region. To image the bladder accurately, the camera must be focused on this region to capture the bladder's position and shape. The other choices (A, B, D) are incorrect as they do not correspond to the anatomical location of the urinary bladder. Option A is in the upper abdomen, option B is in the lower back, and option D is in the central abdomen, none of which are where the bladder is located. Focusing on the hypogastric region ensures the proper visualization of the urinary bladder in an x-ray image.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: To store energy. The hypodermis serves as a storage site for fat, which acts as an energy reserve for the body. It helps to insulate the body and regulate temperature indirectly, but its primary function is energy storage. A: While the hypodermis does provide some protection and cushioning, its main function is not to protect the body from the environment. B: While the hypodermis does help with insulation, its function is not primarily to regulate body temperature. D: While the hypodermis does have multiple functions, its primary role is energy storage, so not all of the above are correct.
