Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The female client admitted for an unrelated diagnosis asks the nurse to check her back because 'it itches all the time in that one spot.' When the nurse assesses the client’s back, the nurse notes an irregular-shaped lesion with some scabbed-over areas surrounding the lesion. Which action should the nurse implement first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Measuring and documenting the lesion provides baseline data for HCP evaluation. Notification, lotion, or client instruction are secondary.
Question 2 of 5
Before leaving the room, which of the following nursing actions should the nurse perform?

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?
