NCLEX Questions Integumentary System Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is teaching a class on how to prevent Lyme disease. Which intervention should be included in the discussion?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Avoiding dense undergrowth reduces tick exposure, preventing Lyme disease. Dark clothes attract ticks, sunscreen is irrelevant, and insect repellent is recommended.
Question 2 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 3 of 5
The long-term care nurse has received the a.m. shift report. Which client should the nurse assess first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Periorbital skin lesions (e.g., herpes zoster ophthalmicus) risk eye complications, requiring urgent assessment. Constipation, catheter changes, and stage I ulcers are less acute.
Question 4 of 5
The client has tinea pedis. Which intervention should the nurse teach to the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Vinegar-water soaks create an acidic environment, reducing tinea pedis. Socks absorb moisture, alternating shoes daily (not monthly) helps, and toenail cutting is unrelated.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is presenting an in-service to participants in a local health fair. Which information regarding the development of skin cancers should the nurse teach?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Avoiding afternoon sun (10 AM–4 PM) reduces UV exposure, lowering skin cancer risk. Fair skin increases risk, diet is unrelated, and beach/stadium exposure is equivalent.
