MULTIPLE CHOICE


1. A patient has generalized macular-papular skin eruptions and complains of
severe pruritus from contact dermatitis. When the nurse administers his therapeutic
bath, it is important to remember that
a. using Burow’s solution helps promote healing.


b. rubbing the skin briskly decreases pruritus.


c. allowing 20 to 60 minutes to complete the bath will prevent pruritus.


d. sterilizing all equipment used will prevent pruritus.




ANS: A

Pruritus is responsible for most of the discomfort. Wet dressings, using Burow’s
solution, help promote the healing process. A cool environment with increased
humidity decreases the pruritus.

2. A patient, age 63, has cancer of the left breast. After a modified radical

signs of
a. herpes zoster.


b. herpes simplex type I.


c. herpes simplex type II.


d. impetigo.




ANS: A

Herpes zoster is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox (Herpes varicella).
The greatest risk occurs to patients who have a lowered resistance to infection, such
as those on chemotherapy or large doses of prednisone, in whom the disease could be
fatal because of the patient’s compromised immune system.

b. hydroxyzine (Atarax).


c. acyclovir (Zovirax).
