Extract:
Question 1 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 2 of 5
The nurse participating in a health fair is discussing malignant melanoma with a group of clients. Which information regarding the use of sunscreen is important to include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Higher SPF numbers block more UV rays, reducing melanoma risk. Sunscreen is needed all day, safe for toddlers, and prevents skin cancer.
Question 3 of 5
The client is scheduled for application of a cadaver homograph to a burn on the forearm. Which comment by the client demonstrates an accurate understanding of this procedure?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A cadaver skin graft is a type of temporary graft, also called a biological dressing, and it is used to protect the damaged skin and promote healing and epithelialization. A cadaver skin graft does not use the client's own skin, so there is no donor site. There is a risk of transmitting blood-borne infections with cadaver grafts. The graft is not permanent, so no further donor site selection is needed.
Question 4 of 5
Which statement by the client diagnosed with chickenpox indicates that the client understands the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Avoiding scratching prevents scarring and infection in chickenpox. Alcohol is harmful, contagiousness persists post-lesions, and antibiotics are not used.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is assessing the client for possible scabies infestation. Which findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The most common symptoms of a scabies infestation are itching and papule rash. Serosanguineous drainage and fever or malaise and edema occur with wound infections. Macule rash and blisters may occur with allergic reactions.
