Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse who documents the burn injury is accurate in identifying the full-thickness burns as having what appearance?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Full-thickness burns appear white, leathery, and painless due to nerve destruction.
Question 2 of 5
Which finding in the health history would the nurse expect of a client with otosclerosis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Otosclerosis often has a familial component, with relatives affected.
Question 3 of 5
The client diagnosed with stage IV infected pressure ulcers on the coccyx is scheduled for a fecal diversion operation. The nurse knows that client teaching has been effective when the client makes which statement?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Fecal diversion (colostomy) prevents stool contamination of coccyx ulcers, aiding healing. Skin flaps, debridement, and oxygen delivery are unrelated to this surgery.
Question 4 of 5
The client is receiving UV light treatments for psoriasis along with methoxsalen, a photosensitizing agent. What precaution should be followed the first day after treatment?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Treatment with methoxsalen (Uvadex) enhances sensitivity of the eyes to sunlight. Sunglasses that provide UVB protection need to be worn for at least 24 hours following treatments. Skin ointments may be prescribed. Temperature monitoring is not needed. Redness and erythema are normal responses.
Question 5 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.
