Question 5 of 5
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.
