The nurse is doing a focus assessment on a 25-year-old college student who presented to the clinic secondary to fever and lethargy. When recording the findings of the lymph glands, a nurse should note all except:

A) Color discrimination:

Color discrimination involves assessing the client's ability to differentiate between various colors, typically using color plates like the Ishihara test. This test is often used to detect color blindness or deficiencies in color vision. The action depicted in the image, which involves reading text up close, is not relevant to assessing color vision capabilities.

B) Near vision:

Near vision is assessed by having the client read small text or print held at a close distance, often using a near vision chart or card. The image shows the client covering one eye with an occluder while reading text, which is a common method to test the clarity and focus of near vision. This helps determine if the client has issues such as presbyopia, which affects near vision acuity.

C) Distance vision:

Distance vision is typically evaluated using a Snellen chart, where the client reads letters or symbols from a distance of 20 feet. The test aims to assess the clarity of vision at a distance. The action in the image does not align with this type of assessment, as it focuses on close-up reading rather than distance.

D) Intraocular pressure:

Intraocular pressure is measured using tools like a tonometer to assess the fluid pressure inside the eye, which is crucial for diagnosing conditions like glaucoma. This test involves specific instruments and procedures, unlike the reading task depicted in the image, which is unrelated to measuring eye pressure.

Stage I: Stage I pressure ulcers are characterized by non-blanchable erythema of intact skin. There is no break in the skin, but it may appear red and warm to the touch. It is considered the mildest form of pressure injury, signaling the beginning of potential skin damage.

B) Stage III: Stage III pressure ulcers involve full-thickness skin loss. This means that the damage extends through the dermis into the subcutaneous tissue. There may be visible fat, but bone, tendon, and muscle are not exposed. These ulcers are deeper and more serious than the scenario described.

C) Stage IV: Stage IV pressure ulcers are the most severe and involve full-thickness tissue loss with exposed bone, tendon, or muscle. The presence of slough or eschar may be present on some parts of the wound bed, and these ulcers are deep, often with extensive damage and infection.

D) Stage II: Stage II pressure ulcers are characterized by partial-thickness skin loss involving the epidermis and/or dermis. They present as shallow, open ulcers with a red-pink wound bed, without slough. They may also appear as intact or open/ruptured serum-filled blisters, which matches the description given in the scenario. This stage represents a more significant injury than Stage I but does not extend into the deeper layers of skin and tissue as in Stage III and IV.
