Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client is admitted to the medical floor diagnosed with cellulitis of the left arm. Which assessment data would warrant immediate intervention by the nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Inability to remove a ring in cellulitis suggests severe edema, risking compartment syndrome, requiring immediate intervention. Weak pulses, finger movement, and normal CRT are less urgent.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is preparing the client scheduled for a dermabrasion. Which information should the nurse include while teaching the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Avoiding extreme temperatures protects healing skin post-dermabrasion. Erythema persists longer, dressings may be changed, and sunlight avoidance lasts weeks.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for an adult who has herpes zoster. What medication is most likely to be administered to this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Acyclovir is the antiviral medication used to treat herpes zoster (shingles), reducing viral replication and symptom duration.
Question 4 of 5
The client is admitted with full-thickness and partial-thickness burns to more than 30% of the body. The nurse is concerned with the client’s nutritional status. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Favorite foods increase caloric intake, critical for hypermetabolic burn patients. Low-fat diets are inappropriate, weekly weights are insufficient, and social worker referral is unrelated.
Question 5 of 5
After cataract surgery, the client tells the nurse of severe pain in the operative eye. Which nursing action is most appropriate?
