Question 3 of 4
The nurse is assessing a client who has herpes zoster. Which question will allow the nurse to gather further information about this condition?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Asking 'Has everyone at home already had varicella?' gathers relevant information about herpes zoster. Herpes zoster (shingles) results from reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus, which causes chickenpox. Those without prior varicella exposure are at risk of contracting it from the client's active lesions, necessitating precautions. Antifungal creams treat fungal infections, not viral zoster, sharing combs relates to lice, and dry patches are nonspecific, making the varicella question most pertinent to transmission risk.
Question 4 of 4
The nurse prepares a teaching plan for an adult client with metabolic syndrome. Which findings should the nurse address to help the client reduce the risk for diabetes mellitus and vascular disease? (SATA)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To reduce diabetes and vascular disease risk in metabolic syndrome, the nurse should address hyperglycemia (A), abdominal obesity (B), and increased triglycerides (C). These are core components of metabolic syndrome, driving insulin resistance and atherosclerosis. Hypothyroidism (D) may affect metabolism but isn't a defining feature, and while hypertension and low HDL are also part of the syndrome, they aren't listed, making A, B, and C the correct focus for lifestyle and medical interventions.
