Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Nurse is caring for a client who presents with linear clusters of fluid-containing vesicles with some crusting. Which should the nurse suspect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Herpes zoster. The presentation of linear clusters of fluid-containing vesicles with crusting is characteristic of herpes zoster, also known as shingles. This condition is caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus, which initially causes chickenpox. The linear distribution of the vesicles along a dermatome is a key distinguishing feature of herpes zoster. Allergic reactions typically present with generalized rash and itching, not linear clusters of vesicles. Ringworm is a fungal infection that presents with circular, scaly lesions, not linear vesicles. Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease that can present with a variety of symptoms, but linear clusters of vesicles are not characteristic of this condition.
Question 2 of 5
Nurse educator conducting parenting class for new parents. Which statement made by participant indicates need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: "Once my baby can sit up, he should be safe in the bathtub." This statement indicates a need for further teaching because infants can easily slip and drown in even a few inches of water, so they should never be left unattended in the bathtub even when they can sit up. This statement overlooks the importance of constant supervision during bath time.
Other choices are incorrect because:
A: Starting swimming lessons when the baby can close her mouth under water is not recommended for infants.
C: Testing the water temperature before placing the baby in the bath is a good practice.
D: Removing the mobile from over the bed once the infant starts to push up is a safety measure to prevent accidents.

B) Avoiding twisting the spine or bending at the waist helps maintain proper body mechanics and prevents back injuries.
D) Using smooth movements when lifting and moving clients minimizes strain on muscles and reduces the likelihood of injury.
Choice C is incorrect because keeping knees slightly lower than hips when sitting for long periods does not directly relate to preventing injury with client care activities.
