NCLEX Questions on Integumentary System Questions
Question 1 of 5
Nurse Tamara discovers scabies when assessing a client who has just been transferred to the medical-surgical unit from the day surgery unit. To prevent scabies infection in other clients, the nurse should:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Isolating bed linens prevents the spread of scabies mites, which can survive on fabrics, until the client is treated and non-infectious.
Question 2 of 5
When teaching a parenting group how to prevent the most common cause of childhood burns, what action does the nurse advise?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The most common type of childhood burn is a thermal burn. Installing smoke detectors provides early warning and the chance to escape a fire.
Question 3 of 5
A teen is prescribed griseofulvin (Grifulvin V). What teaching does the nurse provide the child and parents?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Griseofulvin, an antifungal for fungal infections like ringworm, can cause photosensitivity, so avoiding sun exposure and tanning beds is critical. It's taken orally, not applied, and while liver monitoring may occur, photosensitivity is a key teaching point.
Question 4 of 5
Which client diagnosed with a stage 2 pressure ulcer should the nurse question the use of Iodosorb gel, a wound filler?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Iodosorb gel contains iodine, so it's contraindicated in clients with iodine sensitivity. Bovine reactions relate to Catrix, it's not universally safe, and it's suitable for infected wounds.
Question 5 of 5
The child is diagnosed with impetigo on the hands. The HCP prescribes topical mupirocin. Which intervention should the nurse demonstrate to the parents when discussing this medication?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Soaking in soapy water removes bacteria, aiding mupirocin's effect. Sterile gloves aren't needed (nonsterile or tools suffice), scraping causes harm, and hydrogen peroxide isn't standard.
