Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which individual would most likely experience the skin disorder pseudofolliculitis barbae (shaving bumps)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Pseudofolliculitis barbae is common in African American males due to curly hair causing ingrown hairs post-shaving. Other groups are less affected.
Question 2 of 5
The home health nurse is visiting an elderly client who shows the nurse an area of rough skin with a greasy feel and multiple papules. Which information should the nurse provide the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rough, greasy papules may indicate seborrheic keratosis, requiring HCP evaluation at the next visit. Immediate visits, dismissing as normal, or OTC wart removers are inappropriate.
Question 3 of 5
Which activity should the client who underwent a stapedectomy avoid for the next 6 months?

On the basis of the nurse's understanding of the etiology of pressure ulcers, the nurse should plan for which intervention to promote the client's skin integrity?

Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for a male client diagnosed with folliculitis barbae. Which information should the nurse teach to prevent a reoccurrence?
