Question 1 of 5
A clinic nurse is performing a physical assessment on a client who has systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: A dry, red rash across the bridge of the nose and on the cheeks. This finding is characteristic of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and is known as a "butterfly rash." The rash is a key clinical manifestation of SLE due to immune complex deposition in the skin. This rash typically spares the nasolabial folds, which helps differentiate it from other rashes. Pitting edema of the hands and fingers (choice
A) is not a typical finding in SLE and is more commonly associated with conditions like heart failure or kidney disease. Subcutaneous nodules on the ulnar side of the arm (choice
B) are more indicative of conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. A grey-colored, non-purpuric papular rash (choice
D) is not a typical manifestation of SLE.
