A client has numerous skin lesions. Which one will the nurse evaluate first?

Large cluster of pustules in the right axilla

Raised, tubular, white areas on the arms

Beige, small brown spots on the backs of both hands

Irregular shaped, blue mole with white specks on lower leg

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

A. A large cluster of pustules may indicate an infection or inflammatory process, but it is not necessarily indicative of an immediate danger compared to other options.
B. Raised, tubular, white areas may represent benign conditions, such as skin tags or cysts, which generally do not require urgent evaluation unless symptomatic.
C. Beige, small brown spots are often benign, such as liver spots or freckles; these typically do not signal immediate concern unless there are changes in size or color.
D. An irregular shaped, blue mole with white specks raises significant concern for potential melanoma, a serious form of skin cancer; any atypical characteristics in moles warrant immediate evaluation to rule out malignancy.

A. Be alert for non-verbal clues for pain or discomfort B. Answer for the client during rounds with the physician C. Assessment of the ability to cough and swallow D. Provide enough time for the client to respond

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. While being alert for non-verbal clues for pain or discomfort is important, it does not directly address the risk for ineffective airway clearance.
B. Answering for the client during rounds with the physician may compromise the client's ability to communicate their needs and concerns, which is not appropriate.
C. Assessment of the ability to cough and swallow is crucial for clients who have undergone oral surgery, as it directly relates to their airway clearance and safety in managing secretions.
D. Providing enough time for the client to respond is important for overall communication and comfort but does not specifically address the risk for ineffective airway clearance, which requires more targeted interventions.
