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 the Sarcoptes scabiei mite, which burrows into the skin, causing characteristic burrows that appear as thin, wavy, and slightly raised grayish-white or skin-colored lines. These burrows are commonly found on the hands, fingers, wrists, and interdigital spaces. Scaly lesions on the inner thighs (
A) are more indicative of fungal infections. Rash with red macular lesions on the scalp (
B) is more suggestive of conditions like seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis. A bull's eye edematous area on the groin (
C) is more characteristic of Lyme disease. In summary, the presence of maculopapular skin burrows on the hand is a key manifestation of scabies, differentiating it from the other options provided.
