Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client has tinea pedis. Which intervention should the nurse teach to the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Vinegar-water soaks create an acidic environment, reducing tinea pedis. Socks absorb moisture, alternating shoes daily (not monthly) helps, and toenail cutting is unrelated.
Question 2 of 5
Which finding in the health history would the nurse expect of a client with otosclerosis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Otosclerosis often has a familial component, with relatives affected.
Question 3 of 5
The intensive care unit (ICU) burn nurse is developing a nursing care plan for a client with severe full-thickness and deep partial-thickness burns over half the body. Which client problem has priority?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Extensive burns increase infection risk due to loss of skin barrier; this is the priority. Coping, mobility, and knowledge are secondary in acute burn care.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client diagnosed with squamous cell skin cancer and writes a psychosocial problem of 'fear.' Which nursing interventions should be included in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Verbalizing fear helps address anxiety and promotes coping. Dismissing fears, deferring to HCP, or procedure instruction are less therapeutic.
Question 5 of 5
The long-term care nurse has received the a.m. shift report. Which client should the nurse assess first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Periorbital skin lesions (e.g., herpes zoster ophthalmicus) risk eye complications, requiring urgent assessment. Constipation, catheter changes, and stage I ulcers are less acute.
