A nurse is planning care for a client who has an infected wound with significant exudate.

The nurse should plan to use which of the following dressings to cover the wound?

Polymeric membrane dressing

Hydrofiber dressing

Hydrogel dressing

Hydrocolloid dressing

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

Choice A rationale: this is a type of non-adherent dressing that can be used for wounds with minimal exudates hence this is not suitable for wounds with significant exudate since it causes maceration and leakage.
Choice B rationale: this is an absorbent dressing that can be used in wounds with moderate-significant exudate since it moistens the wound environment while facilitating autolytic debridement by forming a gel in contact with the exudate.
Choice C rationale: this is a type of hydrating dressing containing water or glycerin-based gel that is suitable for use in wounds with minimal exudate.
Choice D rationale: this is a type of occlusive dressing suitable for wounds with minimal-moderate exudates. It is unsuitable for wounds with significant exudate since it can result in maceration and leakage.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale: Rubbing the affected area may exacerbate pruritus and potentially spread scabies.
Choice B rationale: Providing mittens can prevent the client from scratching the affected areas, promoting healing and preventing the spread of scabies.
Choice C rationale: Hot water can worsen itching and should be avoided in scabies management.
Choice D rationale: The application of scabicide should follow the prescribed treatment plan, and additional application without guidance may lead to overuse and potential adverse effects.

A. White- or flesh-colored papillary growths in the genital area B. Influenza-like symptoms C. Anuria D. Green penile discharge

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale: white-or flesh-colored papillary growths in the genital region is a common finding in human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, not HSV 2 infection.
Choice B rationale: a patient with HSV 2 usually develop influenza-like symptoms such as headache, muscle aches, fever, and generalized body malaise. However, the above symptoms usually subside within a few days to weeks.
Choice C rationale: anuria refers to the absence of urine output indicating renal failure which is not associated with HSV 2 infection.
Choice D rationale: green penile discharge is associated with gonorrhea infection rather than HSV 2 infection.
