Question 1 of 5
The nurse is explaining facelift (rhytidectomy) surgery to the client and describing the site where the incision is most commonly made. Place an X on the site where the incision most commonly used for rhytidectomy is made.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: An incision either in front or in back of the ear is made during rhytidectomy to remove excess skin and treat muscle laxity of the face. Incisions in the forehead and periorbital area are for blepharoplasty and browlift. Head and neck reconstruction utilizes the chin site.
Question 2 of 5
The client experiences local burning and stinging when mafenide cream is applied to treat a burn injury. Which action should be taken by the nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Burning or stinging with application of mafenide (Sulfamylon) is a normal response. Mafenide is bacteriostatic and used to reduce gram-negative and gram-positive organisms present in burned tissues. Removal of mafenide or notifying the HCP is unnecessary. Mafenide cream is supplied in 11.2% cream; there are no other concentrations available.
