An older client expresses concern about developing new age spots. Which
instruction is most important for the nurse to provide to the client?
a.
Limit the time you spend in the sun.
b.
Monitor for signs of infection.
c.
Monitor spots for color change.
d.
Use skin cream to prevent drying. - ANSWER-c.
,Monitor spots for color change.
The ABCDE method (check for asymmetry, border irregularity, color variation,
diameter, and evolving [changing] in any feature) should be used to assess lesions
for signs associated with cancer. Any positive findings using this method requires
the lesion to be examined by a dermatologist or a surgeon. The other options are
good instructions for clients too, but this client is worried about lesions that are
already present.
***A nurse performs a skin screening for a client who has numerous skin lesions.
Which lesion does the nurse evaluate first?
a.
Beige freckles on the backs of both hands
b.
Irregular blue mole with white specks on the lower leg
c.
Large cluster of pustules in the right axilla
d.
Thick, reddened papules covered by white scales - ANSWER-b.
Irregular blue mole with white specks on the lower leg
This mole fits two of the criteria for being cancerous or precancerous: variation of
color within one lesion, and an indistinct or irregular border. Melanoma is an
invasive malignant disease with the potential for a fatal outcome. Freckles are a
benign condition. Pustules could mean an infection, but it is more important to take
care of the potentially cancerous lesion first. Psoriasis vulgaris manifests as thick
reddened papules covered by white scales. This is a chronic disorder and is not the
priority.
,Which diagnostic test should the nurse anticipate being ordered for this client?
a.
Punch skin biopsy
b.
Viral cultures
c.
Wood's lamp examination
d.
Diascopy - ANSWER-a.
Punch skin biopsy
This lesion is suspicious for skin cancer and a biopsy is needed. A viral culture
would not be appropriate. A Woods lamp examination is used to determine if skin
lesions have characteristic color changes. Diascopy eliminates erythema, making
skin lesions easier to examine.
The nurse inspects the site where a clients basal cell carcinoma has been treated
with cryosurgery and finds that the area is red, with a blister in the center. Which
action does the nurse take?
a.
Culture the site.
b.
Notify the surgeon.
c.
Apply hydrocortisone cream.
d.
Reassure the client. - ANSWER-d.
, Reassure the client.
This skin reaction is the expected and normal response to cryosurgery. No other
intervention is necessary other than continued assessment.
A client is at high risk for developing skin cancer but will not perform total skin
self-examination (TSSE) consistently. Which nursing intervention is the most
important?
a.
Reinforce previous teaching on the TSSE technique.
b.
Teach the client the dangers of skin cancer.
c.
Determine whether the client has a partner to help.
d.
Carefully document all existing skin lesions. - ANSWER-c.
Determine whether the client has a partner to help.
Research shows that an important factor in compliance with TSSE is having a
partner with whom to work while performing the assessment.
The nurse is caring for a client with lung cancer who states, I don't want any pain
medication because I am afraid I'll become addicted. How should the nurse
respond?
a. I will ask the provider to change your medication to a drug that is less potent.
b. Would you like me to use music therapy to distract you from your pain?
c. It is unlikely you will become addicted when taking medicine for pain.
