Integumentary System NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is planning the care for clients recovering from second- or third-degree burns. Which psychosocial nursing problem should be priority?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Disturbed body image occurs during the recovering stages of the burn condition and should be priority. Altered sensory perception and altered skin integrity are physiological problems. Disturbed personal identity is less likely to occur than disturbed body image.
Question 2 of 5
Silver nitrate dressings are applied to burns on an adult. What should be included in the nursing care plan?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Silver nitrate dressings must be kept wet to maintain their antibacterial effectiveness and prevent tissue damage.
Question 3 of 5
The female client calls the clinic and tells the nurse that she has a really big 'boil' in the perineal area that is causing a lot of pain. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Warm, moist compresses promote drainage and pain relief in a boil (furuncle). Emergency visits may be needed later, squeezing risks infection, and spontaneous resolution is unlikely.
Question 4 of 5
On inspecting the client's eye, the nurse will note which symptom of conjunctivitis in addition to erythema?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Conjunctivitis often presents with dried, crusty drainage along the eyelid.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is working with clients in an aesthetic surgery center. Which intervention should the nurse implement for a client undergoing a chemical peel?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Applying the chemical post-cleansing ensures efficacy and safety. Extreme swelling is not typical, general anesthesia is unnecessary, and mild discomfort is expected.
