NSG 6440 Question Bank: Questions and Rationales

1. A patient with diabetes has right anterior shin edema, erythema, warmth, and

tenderness to touch. This developed over the past 3 days. There is no visible pus. What

is the most likely diagnosis to consider?

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)

Buerger’s disease

Cellulitis

Venous disease

Rationale:

This description is one of cellulitis. Cellulitis involves an infection of the

subcutaneous layers of the skin. It must be treated with an oral antibiotic. In a patient

with diabetes, it is particularly important to identify, and aggressively treat cellulitis

early, because elevated blood sugar levels will make eradication more difficult.

Buerger’s disease involves inflammation of the medium-sized arteries and does not

present on the anterior shin only. DVT seldom presents on the anterior shin, so this is

not likely. Venous disease does not present acutely, as in this situation.




2. An example of a first-generation cephalosporin used to treat a skin infection is:

cephalexin.

cefuroxime.
