pg. 1
,practitioner explains to the staff that Mrs. Jones needs frequent
assessment of her skin and protection provided to prevent skin
breakdown because:
1. Her lack of activity causes the skin to tear.
2. Fat has redistributed to the abdomen and thighs, leaving bony
surfaces in areas such as the face, hands, and sacrum. This can result
in injury.
3. She has lost weight and is in jeopardy of falling.
4. She picks at herself and causes skin breakdown.
Answer: 2
Page: 96
Feedback
1.Lack of activity alone does not cause skin breakdown.
2.Fat is redistributed to the abdomen and thighs, leaving bony
surfaces, such as the face, hands, and sacrum, exposed to potential
injury, especially skin tears from shearing, friction forces and pressure
ulcer development.
3.Although losing weight may be a risk factor for falling, it is not
directly related to skin breakdown.
4.There is no evidence that she is picking at herself, as there is
nothing reported anywhere else on her arms.
3. Mr. James is 91 years old. His daughter notices that he has bruises
and lacerations on his arms and reports this to the nurse practitioner,
who tells her that older people bruise easily due to their fragile blood
vessels. The skin lacerations happen because he has thin skin. Even
so, the nurse practitioner assures the daughter that she will investigate
further to ensure that he is getting proper care. She says this because
she understands that:
1. These markings on the patient's skin are part of aging skin.
pg. 2
,2. Bruises and lacerations can indicate inadequate care.
3. The daughter needs assurance that her father is okay.
4. The patient is being abused.
Answer: 2

Feedback
1.Markings on the skin may be signs of aging, a disease, or
maltreatment.
2.Poorly healing wounds or chronic pressure ulcers may signal a
problem not only with the patient but with the caregiver's ability to
provide adequate care. Welts, lacerations, burns, and distinctive
markings may indicate a need for intervention.
3.This is a result of the nurse practitioner addressing it further rather
than the reason for addressing it.
4.A professional cannot assume abuse without good reason.
4. The nurse practitioner assesses a patient's skin and finds an
infectious lesion on the lower leg. The lesion is considered a
secondary lesion. The nurse practitioner explains that a secondary
lesion is one that:
1. Arises from changes to a primary lesion.
2. Is a complication of an underlying disease.
3. Is difficult to treat.
4. Is a normal sign of aging.

, 1.Secondary lesions (infections) arise from changes to the primary
lesion.

disease.

done. The nurse practitioner asks the following question:

3. Has this growth changed, bled, or is it painful?
4. Has this growth made it difficult to put on your rings?
Answer: 3
Page: 97
Feedback
1.An injury would not stimulate growth.
2.A reaction to a detergent would more likely be a rash.
3.Lesions that warrant biopsy are those that have changed, bleed, or
are painful.
4.The ability to put on her ring is not the problem.
6. A 60-year-old male enters the burn center for triage and treatment
due to a burn he received at a campfire. His left arm has an area that is
erythematous and painful, and another area has a blister. What does
the nurse practitioner record as the degree of burn?
