Which information should the nurse discuss with the client diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Correct Answer: C Rationale: The nurse should discuss rotating two or three different types of shampoos daily with the client diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp. This is because using different shampoos can help prevent the scalp from becoming resistant to one specific shampoo and can also help target different aspects of the condition. Using the same shampoo repeatedly may lead to decreased effectiveness over time. Additionally, rotating shampoos can help prevent the buildup of product residue on the scalp, which can exacerbate seborrheic dermatitis symptoms. This approach promotes scalp health and reduces the risk of irritation and flare-ups. Incorrect Choices: A: Using a fine-toothed comb after shampooing may exacerbate irritation and inflammation in seborrheic dermatitis. B: Applying hydrocortisone 1% twice a day may provide temporary relief but is not a long-term solution for managing seborrheic dermatitis and can have side effects with prolonged

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Rationale for Correct Answer (A): Lipomas are indeed the commonest benign tumors, typically composed of adipose (fat) tissue. They are usually slow-growing and painless. This statement accurately reflects the characteristic of lipomas. Summary of Incorrect Choices: B: Lipomas are not more common in males; they occur with equal frequency in both males and females. C: While lipomas can arise in various connective tissues, they most commonly develop in subcutaneous fat. D: Lipomas can occur in various locations, including the palm, sole of foot, and scalp, although they are more commonly found in other areas.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The Rule of Nines is a method used to estimate the total body surface area affected by burns in adults. It divides the body into regions, each representing 9% or multiples of 9% of the total body surface area. This helps determine the severity of the burn and guide treatment. Choice B is correct as it accurately reflects the application of the Rule of Nines in assessing burn percentage in adults. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as the Rule of Nines specifically applies to adults and not children, and it does not refer to the depth of a burn but rather the extent of the burn injury.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Tachypnea (RR 26). Tachypnea, an increased respiratory rate, is a systemic manifestation of an inflammatory response due to the body's attempt to deliver more oxygen to tissues during inflammation. Erythema (choice A) is localized redness, pain (choice B) is a common symptom of inflammation at the site, and edema (choice D) is localized swelling, not a systemic response. Tachypnea is a systemic sign that reflects the body's overall response to inflammation.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The most appropriate initial action for the nurse in this scenario is to leave the home. This is the correct answer because the nurse's safety should be the top priority. By leaving the potentially dangerous situation, the nurse can ensure their own well-being and then take appropriate steps to address the concerns. Dialing 911 or advising the client to leave the home could escalate the situation and put the nurse at risk. Contacting the physician may not provide immediate assistance in this urgent situation. In summary, leaving the home allows the nurse to prioritize safety and seek help or resources to address the concerns in a safer environment.
