Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A 45-year-old African-American client comes to the clinic complaining of fatigue, thirst, and frequent urination. During the physical exam, the nurse notices areas of linear hyperpigmentation around the neck and in the axillae (Acanthosis Nigricans). What would the nurse do next?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Refer the client for medical follow-up. The client presenting with symptoms of fatigue, thirst, frequent urination, and physical signs of Acanthosis Nigricans indicates potential underlying health issues like diabetes. Referring the client for medical follow-up allows for further evaluation, diagnosis, and appropriate management. Option B is incorrect as the symptoms do not directly suggest a family history of cancer. Option C is incorrect as these findings are not benign and indicate a need for further assessment. Option D is not the immediate next step; however, it is essential to perform a blood sugar test as part of the evaluation process.
