Skin Integrity NCLEX Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
It is most important to include this group in which aspect of Aaron's overall care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because planning meals to promote wound healing directly impacts Aaron's physical well-being and recovery. Proper nutrition plays a crucial role in wound healing. Reviewing class notes and studying for exams (A) is important but not as critical to his immediate health. Purchasing wound care supplies (C) is necessary but doesn't address the root cause of the issue. Reminiscing about the past (D) is irrelevant to Aaron's current care needs. In summary, option B focuses on a key aspect of Aaron's care by addressing his physical health and promoting recovery.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is teaching a group of adolescents at a local high school about skin infections. Which students should the nurse identify as being at increased risk for developing cellulitis? Select the one that does not apply
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Cellulitis is a bacterial skin infection that can occur when bacteria enter through a break in the skin. Students who are at increased risk include those with compromised immune systems, chronic conditions like diabetes (B), and those who engage in behaviors that can introduce bacteria into the skin, such as plucking eyebrows (A) or squeezing pimples (D). Being a member of the golf team (C) does not inherently increase the risk of developing cellulitis unless there is a specific behavior or condition associated with golfing that could lead to skin infections. Thus, option C does not apply in this context.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse caring for a client with cellulitis can expect to collaborate with which other member of the healthcare team?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Wound care specialist. In the case of cellulitis, a wound care specialist is crucial for managing and treating the infected area effectively. They have expertise in wound healing, infection control, and proper dressing techniques, which are essential for cellulitis treatment. Collaborating with a wound care specialist ensures the client receives appropriate care and helps prevent complications. The other choices (A, B, D) are not directly related to cellulitis management and would not provide the specialized care needed for this condition.
Question 4 of 5
A labor and delivery nurse is providing care for a neonate in the first few minutes after birth. One action the nurse will take to promote eye health and prevent conjunctivitis in the infant is administration of
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: erythromycin as an eye ointment. The rationale for this is that erythromycin is commonly used as prophylaxis to prevent neonatal conjunctivitis caused by Chlamydia trachomatis or Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It is applied within the first hour after birth to prevent the transmission of these bacteria from the mother to the infant during delivery. Oral tetracycline (A) is not recommended in neonates due to potential tooth discoloration and skeletal growth inhibition. Ceftriaxone (C) is not typically used in neonatal eye infections. Parenteral acyclovir (D) is used to treat herpes infections, not to prevent neonatal conjunctivitis.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse walks into an examination room and sees a young child demonstrate a specific behavior. (See image.) The nurse recognizes this behavior is most characteristic of which health problem?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The image shows a child pulling at their ear, which is a common sign of otitis media, an inflammation of the middle ear. This behavior indicates ear pain or discomfort, a key symptom of otitis media. Sore throat (A) typically presents with throat pain, not ear pulling. Hunger (B) would not manifest as ear pulling behavior. Head cold (D) may have nasal congestion and runny nose but not ear pulling. Therefore, option C is the most appropriate choice based on the presented behavior.
