The nursing diagnosis that would have the highest priority in the care of the client who has become comatose following cerebral hemorrhage is which of the following?

Choice A reason: Malaria is common globally, but dengue leads in U.S. travel cases. This errors per epidemiology data. It’s universally distinct, less frequent here.

Choice B reason: Yellow fever is rare in U.S. travel; dengue prevails. This misaligns with public health standards. It’s universally distinct, not top vector.

Choice C reason: Dengue is the most common travel-introduced vector disease in U.S. This fits epidemiology standards. It’s universally recognized, distinctly accurate.

Choice D reason: Onchocerciasis is rare in U.S.; dengue dominates travel vectors. This errors per nursing knowledge. It’s universally distinct, less relevant.

Choice A reason: Thin-walled pustules with honey-colored crusts indicate impetigo, bacterial from Staphylococcus, not HPV. These rupture and crust due to pus, unlike HPV’s viral, proliferativewarts, which lack this infectious discharge, distinguishing them clinically and pathologically in skin lesion presentation entirely here.

Choice B reason: Vesicles ulcerating in 1-4 days fit herpes simplex, not HPV. Herpes causes rapid blistering and crusting from viral cell damage, contrasting HPV’s slower, cauliflower-like growth from epidermal hyperplasia, separating their lesion progression and appearance biologically and distinctly overall.

Choice C reason: HPV lesions, like genitalwarts from types 6 and 11, show cauliflower-like, elevated growths. This viral-induced keratinocyte proliferation creates rough, clustered warts, a unique hallmark distinguishing them from other infections’ ulcerative or pustular patterns clinically and pathologically here comprehensively.

Choice D reason: Solitary growths with elevated borders and central depression suggest basal cell carcinoma, not HPV. This cancerous lesion from UV damage differs from HPV’s viral, multi-clusteredwarts, lacking malignancy or central depression, separating them in appearance and etiology entirely and clearly.
