2. INTRODUCTION
The NUR 6111 Shadow Health Felipe Barbosa – Sick Visit: Integumentary practice
question bank is designed to support advanced nursing students developing clinical
assessment, diagnostic reasoning, documentation, and treatment-planning skills for
patients presenting with skin-related concerns. It focuses on the clinical reasoning
skills commonly required in advanced health assessment and primary care coursework.
Students will practice gathering a focused history, conducting a systematic
integumentary examination, distinguishing primary from secondary skin lesions,
recognizing concerning clinical findings, developing differential diagnoses, and
selecting appropriate diagnostic tests and management strategies. Additional emphasis
is placed on SOAP-note documentation, patient education, evidence-based treatment,
follow-up planning, and reflective practice.
The questions use clinical scenarios and four-option multiple-choice formats to
encourage application rather than memorization. Detailed rationales explain the
reasoning behind the best answer and clarify why alternative choices are less
appropriate. This approach helps learners identify knowledge gaps, strengthen clinical
judgment, and prepare for simulated patient encounters and written assessments.
Use this question bank alongside your course rubric, assigned readings, and the actual
Shadow Health encounter instructions. The specific findings in Felipe Barbosa’s
assigned case should be verified against your course materials rather than assumed
from these general practice scenarios.

4. QUESTIONS SECTION
QUESTIONS 1–100
Domain 1: Focused History and Clinical
Assessment
Q1: A 34-year-old patient presents with an itchy, expanding rash on the forearm that
began three weeks ago. The patient has applied an over-the-counter corticosteroid
cream, but the lesion has enlarged and developed a more distinct outer border. Which
additional history question is most useful in distinguishing a superficial fungal
infection from eczema?
A) Have you experienced seasonal nasal congestion?
B) Have you had contact with someone or an animal with a similar rash, and has the
lesion changed after using the cream?
C) Do you routinely use moisturizing lotion after bathing?
D) Have you ever experienced mild headaches?
, Rationale: B is correct because exposure history and worsening with topical
corticosteroids can support suspected dermatophyte infection, although neither
finding confirms it. A may identify atopy but is less discriminating. C is relevant to
skin care but does not establish an infectious cause. D has little diagnostic value for an
isolated expanding rash.
Q2: A patient reports recurrent itching that becomes substantially worse at night,
particularly around the wrists and finger webs. Several household members have
recently developed similar symptoms. What is the most appropriate next step?
A) Diagnose atopic dermatitis and prescribe a potent topical corticosteroid.
B) Recommend an oral antihistamine as the only treatment.
C) Investigate for scabies, examine characteristic sites, and assess close contacts and
potential transmission.
D) Reassure the patient that the condition is unlikely to be contagious.
Rationale: C is correct because nocturnal itching, characteristic distribution, and
affected contacts suggest scabies. A risks treating the wrong condition and masking
findings. B may relieve itching but does not eradicate mites. D is unsafe because
scabies spreads through close contact.
Q3: A patient presents with a painful, rapidly spreading area of redness and warmth
on the lower leg. The patient reports fever and chills. Which historical detail most
directly helps identify a potential portal of entry?
A) Whether the patient has recently changed laundry detergent.
B) Whether the patient uses fragrance-free soap.
C) Whether the patient has a family history of psoriasis.
D) Whether there has been a recent cut, ulcer, insect bite, or break in the skin.
Rationale: D is correct because disruption of the skin barrier can allow bacteria to
enter and cause cellulitis. A and B may help evaluate contact dermatitis. C may
inform chronic inflammatory skin disease but does not explain an acute febrile
presentation.
Q4: A patient describes a dark spot that has changed shape and color over several
months. Which follow-up question is most important?
A) Does the spot become less visible after applying moisturizer?
B) Has the lesion changed in size, developed irregular borders or multiple colors, or
started bleeding?
C) Does the spot disappear after a warm shower?
