A nurse is assessing a child for scabies.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a manifestation of scabies?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Maculopapular skin burrows on the hand. Scabies is caused by a tiny mite that burrows into the skin, leading to the formation of characteristic burrows, which are tiny, raised, grayish-white or skin-colored lines on the skin. These burrows are most commonly found between the fingers, on the wrists, elbows, and genitals. Scaly lesions on the inner thighs (
A) are more indicative of other skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis. Rash with red macular lesions on the scalp (
B) is more suggestive of conditions like seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis. Bull's eye edematous area on the groin (
C) is more likely associated with conditions like Lyme disease or ringworm.
Therefore, the presence of maculopapular skin burrows on the hand (
D) is the most specific manifestation of scabies.
