Chapter 3: Care of the Patient with an Integumentary DisorderMULTIPLE CHOICE
1. What should the nurse do when administering a therapeutic bath to a patient who has severe
pruritus?
a. Use Burow’s solution to help promote healing
b. Rub the skin briskly to decrease pruritus
c. Limit bathing to 3 times a week
d. Ensure that bath area is at least 85 degrees and dehumidified
ANS: A
Pruritus is responsible for most of the discomfort. Wet dressings and using Burow’s solution
help promote the healing process. A cool environment with increased humidity decreases the
pruritus. Give daily baths with an application to cleanse the skin.

2. A frail, older adult home health patient who had chickenpox as a child has been exposed to
varicella (chickenpox) several days ago. What should the nurse do?
a. Assess frequently for herpes zoster
b. Be aware of the patient’s immunity to chickenpox
c. Encourage the patient to have a pneumonia vaccine
d. Arrange for the patient to receive gamma globulin
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, aging, or receiving large doses of prednisone, in whom the disease could be
fatal because of the patient’s compromised immune system.
