QUIZ 2
• Question 1
2 out of 2 points
Wound infections are often cause by all of the following organisms except:
• Question 2
2 out of 2 points
Adhesive skin glues are indicated for closure of which of the following wounds?
• Question 3
2 out of 2 points
Lidocaine with epinephrine can safely be used to anesthetize which of the following?
• Question 4
2 out of 2 points
A Dennie-Morgan fold is probably caused by:
Response Feedback: Persons with chronic atopic or allergic conditions tend to rub the eyes sufficiently to cause an extra crease or pleat of skin below the eye, called the Dennie-Morgan fold.
• Question 5
2 out of 2 points
A 29-year-old white woman appears jaundiced. An etiology of liver disease has been excluded. What history questions should the nurse ask?
Response Feedback: In the absence of liver disease, another cause of jaundice is increased carotene pigmentation. Diets high in carrots, sweet potatoes, and squash are high in carotene and can make the skin appear to be jaundiced. Whether she had unprotected sex, a history of diabetes mellitus, or unusual bleeding problems would not assess the jaundiced skin.
• Question 6
2 out of 2 points
A simian line seen in the palm of a small child may imply:
Response Feedback: The simian line, a single transverse crease, is seen on the palm of children with Down syndrome.
• Question 7
2 out of 2 points
You are conducting a preschool examination on a 5-year-old child. Which injury would most likely raise your suspicion that the child was being abused?
Response Feedback: Toddlers and older children who bruise themselves accidentally do so over bony prominences, like the knees, chin, and shin. Bruises over soft tissues are more consistent with abuse.
• Question 8
2 out of 2 points
Fluorescing lesions are best distinguished using a(n):
Response Feedback: Fluorescing lesions (e.g., some tinea lesions) show a characteristic yellow-green color under a Wood's lamp.
• Question 9
2 out of 2 points
The skin repairs surface wounds by:
Response Feedback: The skin's tissue cells have a rapid rate of turnover and constant renewal, thereby enabling the skin to repair damaged surfaces.
• Question 10
2 out of 2 points
Which cultural group has the lowest incidence of nevi?
Response Feedback: Nevi are more common in persons who burn rather than tan; therefore, African Americans have the lowest rates of nevi.
• Question 11
2 out of 2 points
Assessment of poor hygiene, healed fractures with deformity, or unexplained trauma in older adults indicates:
Response Feedback: Described is the most common form of elder abuse: physical neglect.
• Question 12
2 out of 2 points
You are inspecting the lower extremities of a patient and have noted pale, shiny skin of the lower extremities. This may reflect:
Response Feedback: Pale, shiny skin of the lower extremities may reflect peripheral changes that occur with systemic disorders, such as diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease.
• Question 13
2 out of 2 points
Mrs. Leonard brings her newborn infant into the pediatrician's office for a first well-baby visit. As the health care provider, you teach her that newborns are more vulnerable to hypothermia due to:
Response Feedback: Newborns have a poorly developed subcutaneous fat layer and so have a reduced ability to generate heat.
• Question 14
2 out of 2 points
During history taking, a mother states that her son awoke in the middle of the night complaining of intense itching to his legs. Today, your inspection reveals honey-colored exudate from the vesicular rash on his legs. Which condition is consistent with the above findings?
Response Feedback: Impetigo causes intense pruritus, regional lymphadenopathy, and honey-colored exudative crusting as the vesicles or bullae rupture and dry.
• Question 15
2 out of 2 points
Painful vesicles are associated with:
Response Feedback: Herpes zoster (shingles) produces painful itching or burning of the dermatome area.
• Question 16
2 out of 2 points
The most common inflammatory skin condition is:
Response Feedback: The most common inflammatory skin disorder is eczematous dermatitis.
• Question 17
2 out of 2 points
You have just completed a skin assessment on Mr. Baker. During your assessment, you have transilluminated a skin lesion. During the physical examination, you know that skin lesions are transilluminated to distinguish:
Response Feedback: Transillumination is used to determine the presence of fluid in cysts and masses. Fluid-filled lesions will transilluminate with a red glow, and solid masses will not transilluminate.
• Question 18
2 out of 2 points
A flat, nonpalpable lesion is described as a macule if the diameter is:
Response Feedback: A macule by definition is a flat, circumscribed area that is less than 1 cm in diameter and is measurable. An example of a macular rash is measles.
• Question 19
2 out of 2 points
Skin turgor checks are performed to determine the:
Response Feedback: Skin will remain tented if the patient is dehydrated or will not tent if edema is present.
• Question 20
2 out of 2 points
Small, minute bruises are called:
Response Feedback: Petechiae are less than 0.5 cm in diameter. Ecchymoses are greater than 0.5 cm in diameter. Spider veins and telangiectasias are vascular lesions [Show Less]
