Fundamentals Wound Care and Skin Integrity Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
The pediatric clinic nurse assesses small, pink pearl-like lesions on the trunk of a school-aged child. Which treatment regimen does the nurse plan to teach the family about based on the assessment findings?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: This child has manifestations of molluscum contagiosum, a viral infection that generally resolves on its own. Because this is contagious, the bathtub should be disinfected after the child bathes and his or her towels should not be shared.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is discussing the application of silver nitrate to a client diagnosed with a partial-thickness burn to the left leg. Which information should the nurse teach the client when discussing how to apply this medication after discharge?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Silver nitrate is a topical antimicrobial used as a 0.5% solution in distilled water and should be applied to the bulky gauze dressing every 2 hours, with the dressing changed twice a day. Direct ointment application is incorrect, black discoloration is expected and not a concern, and the client must be taught to change the dressing themselves.
Question 3 of 5
Which medication should the nurse administer first on a medical unit?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Hydroxyzine relieves itching (a comfort issue), taking priority over non-urgent conditions like tinea corporis, herpes zoster, and acne, which aren't immediately distressing.
Question 4 of 5
Which task should the nurse delegate to the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) for a client experiencing pruritus?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: UAP can place mittens to prevent scratching. Turning/breathing doesn't address pruritus, medication administration can't be delegated, and lotion application is possible but mittens directly address scratching.
