Question 1 of 5

A nurse in a provider's office is caring for a client who asks about using acupuncture to manage his osteoarthritis pain. The nurse should identify which of the following conditions as a contraindication for receiving this treatment?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Herpes zoster. Acupuncture involves inserting needles into specific points on the body to alleviate pain. Herpes zoster, also known as shingles, is a viral infection that causes a painful rash. The presence of open sores or active infection in the area where acupuncture needles would be inserted can lead to complications such as spreading the virus or causing pain.
Therefore, it is contraindicated to receive acupuncture treatment when a client has active herpes zoster.
Hypertension (
A), obesity (
B), and hypothyroidism (
C) are not contraindications for acupuncture treatment. Hypertension may actually benefit from acupuncture as it can help reduce stress and improve circulation. Obesity and hypothyroidism do not pose any direct risks for receiving acupuncture treatment.
