Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Pressure changes during flying can disrupt healing after a stapedectomy.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with complaints of a rash and itching on the face for one (1) week. Which intervention should the nurse implement first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Determining rash onset provides critical history for diagnosis. Hirsutism, Wood’s light, and OTC medication history are secondary.
Question 3 of 5
The school nurse is discussing how to prevent tinea cruris with the football players. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Thorough drying prevents moisture buildup, reducing tinea cruris risk. Tight jock straps trap moisture, socks are irrelevant, and brushes are unrelated.
Question 4 of 5
The client is admitted to the outpatient surgery center for removal of a malignant melanoma. Which assessment data indicate the lesion is a malignant melanoma?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Asymmetry and irregular borders (ABCD criteria) characterize malignant melanoma. Waxy, scaly, or post-injury lesions suggest other conditions.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is irrigating the arm of the client with an acid burn. Which factors should prompt the nurse to continue with the irrigation? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,E
Rationale: The presence of a burning sensation may indicate that some acid remains on the skin and additional irrigation is needed. The presence of pain, even though reduced, could indicate that not all of the acid has been removed from the skin. A pH of 4.8 is acidic and indicates there is still acid residue that needs to be removed. A pH of 7 indicates a nonacidic status, which would be a positive finding. The absence of pain would indicate that all acid was removed before it could damage the skin.
