Which sexually transmitted infection is caused by Chlamydia trachomatis? Cervicitis Gonorrhea Genital warts Genital herpes

Cervicitis Cervicitis is caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. Gonorrhea is caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Genital warts are caused by the human papilloma virus. Herpes is caused by herpes simplex virus.

Which finding in older adult clients is associated with aging? Decreased height Decreased neck rigidity Increased fine-motor dexterity Increased range of motion (ROM)

Decreased height Loss of height and deformity and shortening of the trunk are common in older adults because of vertebral compression and degeneration. Rigidity in the neck, shoulders, back, hips, and knees increases with age because of loss of elasticity in ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. A decline in fine-motor dexterity occurs in th eolder adult because of slow impulse conduction along motor units. Range of motion (ROM) is limited in the older adult because of cartilage erosion, increased friction between the bones, and overgrowth of bone around joint margins.

Which infection is caused due to a fungus? Furnucle Folliculitis Herpes zoster Dermatophytosis

Dermatophytosis Dermatophytosis a fungal infection in which single or multiple patched appear on the skin. Furuncle is a bacterial infection in which small, tender, erythematous nodules filled with pus appear on the skin. Folliculitis is a bacterial infection in which erythematous pustules appear singly or in groups on the skin. Herpes zoster is a viral infections in which lesions are present on an erythematous base.

Which type of biopsy is required for removal of entire lesions on the skin? Punch biopsy Shave biopsy Incisional biopsy Excisional biopsy

Excisional biopsy An excisional biopsy is required to remove entire lesions on the skin. A punch biopsy provides full-thickness skin for diagnostic purposes. A shave biopsy provides a thin specimen for diagnostic purposes. An incisional biopsy is used along with shave and punch biopsies.

Which skin infection is caused by bacteria? Folliculitis Candidiasis Herpes zoster Dermatophytosis

Folliculitis Folliculitis is caused by bacteria. Candidiasis is a skin infection caused by a fungus. Herpes zoster is caused by a virus. Dermatophytosis is caused by a fungus.

Which sexually transmitted infection receives antiviral medications as the treatment of choice? Syphilis Gonorrhea Genital herpes Chlamydial infection

Genital herpes Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the herpes simplex virus and treated with antiviral medication. Bacteria cause syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydial infections.

Which type of hepatitis virus spreads through contaminated food and water? Hepatitis A virus Hepatitis B virus Hepatitis C virus Hepatitis D virus

Hepatitis A virus Hepatitis A virus spreads through contaminated food and water. Hepatitis B, C, and D viruses spread through contaminated needles, syringes, and blood products.

Scald injuries could be caused by contact with which item? Grease Hot liquids or steam Alkali in oven cleaners Open flame in house fires

Hot liquids or steam Scalding injuries usually result from contact with hot liquids or steam. Contact with grease and and the alkali in oven cleaners may cause chemical injuries. An open flame in house fires may cause thermal injuries.

Which description describes a coalesced type of skin lesion configuration? Lesions are well defined with sharp borders. Lesions mere together and appear confluent. Lesions are ringlike around flat centers of skin. Lesions have wavy borders that resemble a snake.

Lesions merge together and appear confluent. Coalesced skin lesions merge with one another and appear confluent. Circumscribed skin lesions are well defined with sharp defined borders. Annular skin lesions are ringlike with raised borders around flat centers of normal skin. Lesions with wavy borders that resemble a snake are described as serpiginous.

Which mechanism of action for wet-to-damp saline-moistened gauze for wound debridement is correct? Promoting the dilution of viscous exudate Removing the necrotic tissue mechanically Causing a breakdown of the denatured protein of the eschar Promoting the spontaneous separation of necrotic tissue

Wet-to-damp saline-moistened gauze mechanically removes the necrotic tissue. The dilution of viscous exudates is promoted through the continuous wet-gauze technique. Topical enzyme preparations cause a breakdown of the denatured protein of the eschar. Moisture-retentive dressings promote the spontaneous separation of necrotic tissue through autolysis.

Which type of laser is used in the treatment of vascular and other pigmented lesions? Argon Gold vapors Neodymium Carbon dioxide

Argon An argon laser is used in the treatment of vascular and other pigmented lesions. Gold vapors and neodymium are types of lasers used in the treatment of skin disorders. A carbon dioxide laser is also a type of laser used in the treatment of skin disorders; it has numerous applications as a vaporizing and cutting tool for most tissues.

Which diagnostic test is used for the direct visualization of ligaments, menisci, and articular surfaces of joints? Arthroscopy Muscle biopsy Ultrasonography Electromyography

Arthroscopy Arthroscopy is a diagnostic test that uses an arthroscope to directly visualize ligaments, menisci, and articular surfaces of joints. A muscle bipsy is conducted to diagnose atrophy and inflammation. An ultrasonography is used to view soft tissue disorders, traumatic joint injuries and osteomyelitis. Electromyography may be performed to evaluate diffuse or localize muscle weakness.

which clinical finding occurs due to thinning of the subcutaneous layer? Decreased tone and elasticity Decreased sensory perception Increased risk for hypothermia Increased susceptibility to dry skin

Increased risk for hypothermia Thinning of the subcutaneous layer results in increased risk for hypothermia. Degeneration of elastic fibers in the dermis results in decreased tone and elasticity. In the dermis, reduced number and function of nerve endings leads to decreased sensory perception. A decrease in dermal blood flow results in increased susceptibility to dry skin.

Which characteristic does the nurse associate with a punch biopsy? It is usually indicated for superficial or raised lesions.It is more uncomfortable than other biopsies while healing.It is performed using a circular cutting instrument 2 to 6 mm in diameter.It removes only the portion of the skin that rises above the surrounding tissue.

Punch biopsy Punch biopsy is a common technique that involves the use of a small circular cutting instrument with a diameter of 2 to 6 mm. Shave biopsies are usually recommended for superficial or raised lesions. Excisional biopsies are comparatively more uncomfortable than punch or shave biopsies. Shave biopsies remove the skin portion that rises above surrounding tissues.

Which disorder does this image illustrate? Angioedema Oral candidiasis Systemic slcerosis Systemic lupus erythematosus

Systemic lupus erythematosus Systemic lupus erythematosus is a chronic progressive, inflammatory connective tissue disorder that causes major body organs and systems to fail. The image illustrates a "butterfly" rash, which is a major skin manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus. Angioedema is the diffuse swelling of the eyes and lips. In oral candidiasis, white plaque-like lesions appear on the tongue, palate, pharynx, and buccal mucosa. In systemic sclerosis, skin thickening is observed on the trunk, face, and extremities.
