Question 1 of 5

The nurse is assessing the client with herpes zoster. The nurse determines that acyclovir is an effective treatment when which finding is noted?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A: Drying and crusting of genital lesions would indicate acyclovir's effectiveness for treating genital herpes, not herpes zoster. B: Herpes zoster produces painful vesicular skin eruptions along the course of a nerve. Crusting and healing of the vesicular skin lesions indicate that acyclovir (Zovirax) is effective. C: Urticaria (swollen, raised areas) and pruritus (itching) are not symptoms of herpes zoster. D: The lesions of chicken pox are generalized, whereas herpes zoster lesions occur along the course of a nerve. Herpes zoster occurs when the chicken pox (varicella zoster) virus that has incorporated itself into nerve cells is reactivated years after the initial infection, but it is not chicken pox.
