Integumentary NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
It is most appropriate for the nurse to monitor a client for which potential problem?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Open exposure increases infection risk due to exposed tissue.
Question 2 of 5
When the nurse assesses the client's operative eye after surgery, which finding is most expected?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: An iridectomy creates a fixed pupil opening to relieve pressure.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is obtaining a preoperative health history on the client scheduled for revision of facial scars. Which client comment indicates an increased risk for a poor cosmetic outcome?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Diclofenac (Voltaren) is an NSAID; increased bleeding tendency and increased sensitivity to sunlight are side effects that may inhibit achieving optimal cosmetic outcomes. Fasting is standard practice. Nervousness does not affect cosmetic outcomes. Controlled hypertension poses no significant risk.
Question 4 of 5
The home health nurse is visiting an elderly client who shows the nurse an area of rough skin with a greasy feel and multiple papules. Which information should the nurse provide the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rough, greasy papules may indicate seborrheic keratosis, requiring HCP evaluation at the next visit. Immediate visits, dismissing as normal, or OTC wart removers are inappropriate.
Question 5 of 5
The client is complaining of burning, stabbing pain that radiates around the left rib cage area. The nurse cannot find any type of skin abnormality. Which action should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Burning pain along dermatomes without visible lesions suggests early herpes zoster, linked to prior chickenpox. Cardiac work-up, dismissal, or analgesics are premature.
