HESI RN Med Surg Exam 2 Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A client reports to the nurse of recently visiting someone who has a shingles infection. The client believes that having had chickenpox as a child will be protective against shingles. How should the nurse respond? Select all that apply.

Correct Answer: B,E

Rationale: The correct answers are B and E because shingles (herpes zoster) is caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus, which also causes chickenpox (herpes varicella). Affirming the connection between chickenpox and shingles (
B) clarifies the client's understanding of the virus's role. Distinguishing between herpes varicella and herpes zoster (E) educates the client that having had chickenpox does not prevent shingles, as the virus remains dormant and can reactivate.
Choice A is irrelevant to the client's concern about their own risk.
Choice C addresses symptom monitoring but not the client's question.
Choice D is incorrect because the risk of shingles increases with age.
