Question 1 of 5
When a foreign body becomes embedded in a client's eye, which nursing action should be taken first before referring the client for emergency treatment?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Patching both eyes prevents eye movement, reducing further damage until emergency treatment is received.
Question 2 of 5
The health department nurse is caring for the client who has leprosy (Hansen’s disease). Which assessment data indicate the client is experiencing a complication of the disease?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Reduced sensation in lesions indicates nerve damage, a leprosy complication. Night fevers, discoloration, and bacterial load are less specific.
Question 3 of 5
A woman who has herpes simplex 1 (HSV1) around the mouth and nose asks the nurse if she can give the sores to her husband. What should the nurse include when answering this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: HSV1 is contagious and can be transmitted through direct contact, such as kissing, especially during active outbreaks.
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 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.
