Question 1 of 5
Which client signs and symptoms indicate contact dermatitis to the nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Erythema and oozing vesicles are hallmark signs of contact dermatitis. Pustules, varicosities, and telangiectasia suggest other conditions.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is assessing the client. Which findings should the nurse associate with herpes zoster?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse should associate pain and pruritus (itching) with herpes zoster. Herpes zoster follows the path of peripheral sensory nerves; symptoms come from the nerve involvement. Serous drainage and pus indicate infection of vesicles. Nodular lesions are not associated, though burning may occur. Macule lesions may occur early, but petechiae are not associated.
