ASSESSMENTS EXAM 2025 WITH ACCURATE
SOLUTIONS
1. If a nurse observes multiple cafe au lait spots on an infant
during a physical assessment, what should be the next step
in their care plan?
Apply a topical cream to the spots immediately.
Refer the infant for genetic evaluation to rule out any
associated conditions.
Document the spots and schedule a follow-up in
one year. Ignore the spots as they are usually
harmless.
2. Describe the condition known as hirsutism and its potential
implications for patients.
Hirsutism is a term used for the normal hair growth pattern
in infants.
Hirsutism is a skin condition that causes rashes and
irritation.
Hirsutism is a condition characterized by excessive hair
growth in women, often leading to psychological
distress and social stigma.
Hirsutism refers to hair loss in men due to hormonal
changes.
3. Describe how vitiligo affects the appearance of
the skin. Vitiligo leads to an increase in
skin pigmentation.
Vitiligo causes patchy spots of white on the skin due
,to the loss of melanin.
Vitiligo causes the skin to become excessively oily.
Vitiligo results in a uniform skin tone without discoloration.
,4. Light-brown pigmented lesions with uniform borders. 10%
of African American infants
Milaria
rubra Milia
Pustular melanosis
Cafe au lait spots
5. What is the defining characteristic of gyrate lesions in
medical terminology?
flat and smooth
twisted, coiled spiral, snakelike
raised and red
irregular and scaly
6. Describe how a tuning fork is utilized in a hearing assessment.
A tuning fork is placed on the skin to evaluate sensory
nerve function.
A tuning fork is used to calibrate hearing aids for patients.
A tuning fork is struck to produce a sound, which is then
used to assess a patient's ability to hear different
frequencies.
A tuning fork is used to measure the intensity of sound
waves in the environment.
7. Describe how the characteristic of culture being 'dynamic'
can impact nursing practice.
Cultural dynamics only apply to traditional practices, not
modern nursing.
Dynamic culture is unchanging and does not affect nursing
practices.
, The dynamic nature of culture means it evolves over
time, which requires nurses to continuously adapt their
practices to meet the changing needs of diverse
populations.
Dynamic culture refers to the physical changes in patients,
not cultural practices.
8. Describe the significance of recognizing zosteriform lesions in
a clinical setting.
Zosteriform lesions are always benign and require no
further evaluation.
Zosteriform lesions are irrelevant to patient
assessment. Zosteriform lesions are indicative of
a systemic infection.
Recognizing zosteriform lesions is important as they
indicate a specific pattern of skin manifestation often
associated with herpes zoster.
9. What characterizes the novice stage in
nursing? Extensive clinical
experience
Mastery of technical skills
Independent practice without guidance
Limited or no nursing experience
10. Keloids are sharply elevated, irregularly shaped, progressively
enlarging scars caused by excessive amounts of _____ in the
