Question 1 of 5
While the nurse is assessing the client hospitalized with recurrent lower-extremity cellulitis, the client states, 'I have athlete's foot; do you want to check it?' The nurse concludes that this information is significant for what reason?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Cellulitis is an infection with diffuse inflammation occurring in the tissue just under the skin. Chronic athlete's foot causes minute breaks in the skin, allowing bacteria on the skin to enter the tissue and cause the infectious process. Cellulitis is caused by a bacterial infection, not fungal. Cellulitis requires antibiotics, not fungicides. Neuralgia is associated with herpes zoster, not cellulitis.
