The client diagnosed with a verruca vulgaris (wart) on the left ring finger below the knuckle is prescribed a colloidal acid solution. Which information should the nurse discuss with the client?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Apply acid (e.g., salicylic/lactic) every 12-24 hours for 2-3 weeks. It takes 2-3 weeks to work, not 1, and it doesn't spread easily or restrict ring use.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Sebaceous cysts are lined by squamous epithelium.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Radiation burns result from sunburn, radiotherapy, and other forms of radiation exposure.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Hyperthemia is an expected consequence of the infectious disease process. Fever can produce mild, short-term effects or, when prolonged, can cause life-threatening effects. The nurse should administer antipyretic medications as indicated for elevated temperatures and enforce frequent rest periods because rest increases energy reserve, which is depleted by an increased metabolic, heart, and respiratory rate. Ice packs and tepid baths can be used with caution, but the most effective combined intervention includes antipyretics and rest. Increasing room temperature and restricting fluids are not appropriate.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: When providing patient teaching, the nurse must be aware that not all recommendations will be prioritized by the client. Offering more information respects the client's autonomy without threatening or coercing them.
