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 mastectomy, she
has been receiving chemotherapy. Her grandson, who visited a few days ago, now has
varicella (chickenpox). The nurse should observe her carefully for 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.

c. acyclovir (Zovirax).
d. hydrocortisone (Solu-Cortef).
