Fundamentals of Nursing Skin Integrity and Wound Care NCLEX Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is collecting data during a routine clinic visit. The client reports she has experienced bleeding between her menstrual periods. What initial action by the nurse is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Timing of bleeding helps identify causes (e.g., midcycle ovulation). Amount and other assessments follow this initial step.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse cares for clients who have various skin infections. Which infection is paired with the correct pharmacologic treatment?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Ketoconazole is an antifungal, correctly paired with fungal infection.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse cares for a client with a burn injury who presents with drooling and difficulty swallowing. Which action should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Drooling and difficulty swallowing suggest an inhalation injury; auscultating breath sounds assesses airway patency.
Question 4 of 5
A 38-year-old female patient states that she is using topical fluorouracil to treat actinic keratoses on her face. Which additional assessment information will be most important for the nurse to obtain?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Because fluorouracil is teratogenic, it is essential that the patient use a reliable method of birth control. The other information is also important for the nurse to obtain, but lack of reliable birth control has the most potential for serious adverse medication effects.
Question 5 of 5
A patient with atopic dermatitis has been using a high-potency topical corticosteroid ointment for several weeks. The nurse should assess for which adverse effect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Thinning of the skin indicates that atrophy, a possible adverse effect of topical corticosteroids, is occurring. The health care provider should be notified so that the medication can be changed or tapered. Alopecia, red-brown discoloration, and dryness/scaling of the skin are not adverse effects of topical corticosteroid use.
