Question 1 of 5
The nurse prepares to care for a male client with acute cellulitis of the lower leg. The nurse anticipates that which of the following will be prescribed for the client?

Question 2 of 5
A child who was visiting a wooded area on vacation presents to the doctors office with a localized bulls-eye rash. Which action by the nurse is the most appropriate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: This child may have early Lyme disease, which is treated presumptively with Ceftin prior to obtaining laboratory results.
Question 3 of 5
When assessing for primary skin lesions on children, what does the nurse specifically look for?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Primary skin lesions are initial lesions that arise from previously normal skin. Wheals (e.g., hives) are primary lesions, characterized by transient, edematous, itchy areas. Crusts, keloids, and scales are secondary lesions that result from changes to primary lesions or healing processes.
Question 4 of 5
Which data indicates the CombiDerm nonadhesive, sterile, hydrocolloidal dressing is ready to be removed for a client with a stage 3 pressure ulcer?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: CombiDerm is an absorbent hydrocolloidal dressing. It should be removed when the softened area nears the edge, indicating it's saturated. Pooling exudate relates to alginate dressings, color change to Iodosorb gel, and no HCP order is required.
Question 5 of 5
Which statement by the female client diagnosed with severe acne would cause the HCP to not prescribe isotretinoin under the SMART protocol?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Isotretinoin requires two contraception methods due to teratogenicity; one (pills) is insufficient. Regular menses and monthly tests align with SMART, and emotional statements don't affect prescribing.
