Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing for cyanosis in a client who has dark skin. Which of the following sites should the nurse examine to identify cyanosis in this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Conjunctivae. Dark skin can make it challenging to identify cyanosis, a bluish discoloration indicating inadequate oxygenation. The conjunctivae, the inner lining of the eyelids, is a reliable site to assess for cyanosis in dark-skinned individuals due to the mucous membrane's transparency. Other sites like the dorsal surface of the foot (
A), hand (
C), and pinnae of the ears (
D) may not accurately show cyanosis in dark skin due to pigmentation. Examining the conjunctivae allows for a more accurate assessment of cyanosis in individuals with dark skin.
