Chapter 4 Skin and the Integumentary System Review Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following statements are true regarding Kaposi's sarcoma?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Kaposi's sarcoma was historically more common among Ashkenazi Jews and is associated with HHV8, not HHV6.
Question 2 of 5
The admitting department alerts the nurse on a medical-surgical unit that a client with active tuberculosis (TB) is being admitted to the unit. Which type of isolation is appropriate based on the client's diagnosis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In addition to handwashing and standard precautions, the nature and spread of some infectious diseases require that special techniques be used to protect uninfected clients and workers. The client with pulmonary tuberculosis will be placed in airborne precautions. The client should be placed in a private room with special ventilation that does not allow air to circulate to general hospital ventilation; a mask or special filter respirators will be used for everyone entering the room.
Question 3 of 5
During a home care visit, the nurse notices the client's dressing supplies are not being kept in a readily assessable environment. The nurse has discussed this with the client and family in previous visits. What action by the nurse is indicated?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The nurse has attempted to address the concerns with the client and family. The client's failure to make changes indicates a lack of intent to change. Continued discussion is likely futile, and there's no need to notify the physician. Taking custody of supplies is not feasible.
Question 4 of 5
While preparing for the discharge of an elderly, terminally ill client, the family asks for information concerning the most appropriate time to become involved with a hospice agency. What action by the nurse is most correct?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hospice agencies provide vital services to clients facing death and their families. Prompt referral is appropriate for elderly clients to ensure support is available when needed.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is obtaining a health history on a client complaining of recent-onset impotence. During the interview, which of the following questions will be most beneficial in identifying a potential cause of the manifestation?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A health history can reveal underlying causes of impotence (e.g., diabetes, hypertension). Open-ended questions about diseases provide the most insight.
