Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse and an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) are caring for clients in a dermatology clinic. Which task should not be delegated to the UAP?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Discussing client problems requires nursing judgment, outside UAP scope. Stocking, weighing/positioning, and transporting specimens are appropriate.
Question 2 of 5
A client who has just been diagnosed with psoriasis asks the nurse what should be done to prevent family members from getting the condition. What should the nurse include when responding to this question?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Psoriasis is a non-contagious autoimmune condition, so no precautions are needed to prevent transmission to family members.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is assessing the client using desoximetasone topical cream for an abdominal rash. Which finding should indicate to the nurse that the client is experiencing a known side effect from the medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The presence of skin discoloration such as purpura and hyperpigmentation should indicate to the nurse that the client has a side effect from using desoximetasone (
Topicort). Thinning skin, not thickening, is a side effect. The presence of striae, not a decrease, is a side effect. Folliculitis, not increased skin hair, is a side effect.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is assessing the client's grafted wound following a skin graft. Which information provided during shift report should prompt the nurse to carefully assess if the client has a wound infection?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: An elevated temperature could be a sign of an infection. Normal WBC is 4500 to 11,100 microL, so 9900 is WNL. Clean wounds have serosanguineous drainage. Decreased urine output can indicate dehydration or renal failure, not infection.
Question 5 of 5
