Question 3 of 5
A nurse assesses the carbon monoxide level of a client following a burn injury and notes that the level is 8%. Based on this level, which finding would the nurse expect to note during the assessment of the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A carbon monoxide level of 8% is mild and typically causes symptoms like tachycardia or mild headache. Higher levels (e.g., >20%) might lead to tachypnea, coma, or visual impairment, but 8% is insufficient for those severe effects.
Question 4 of 5
On assessment, a nurse notes a flat brown circular nevi on the skin of a client that measures less than one centimeter. The client asks, 'Is this cancer?' The nurse makes which response to the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A flat, brown, circular nevus <1 cm is typically a benign mole unless it shows ABCDE criteria (asymmetry, border irregularity, color variation, diameter >6mm, evolving). The nurse's response reflects this likelihood.
Question 5 of 5
A hospitalized client is diagnosed with scabies. Which of the following would a nurse expect to note on inspection of the client's skin?
