A client receives treatment for a dermatophyte infection of the toenail. How would the nurse document this condition in the chart?

Onychocryptosis.

Pediculosis.

Tinea pedis.

Onychomycosis.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

Choice A rationale

Onychocryptosis, also known as an ingrown toenail, is a condition where the edge of the toenail grows into the surrounding skin. This can cause pain, swelling, and sometimes infection. It is not related to a dermatophyte infection, which is a fungal infection affecting the toenail.

Choice B rationale

Pediculosis refers to an infestation of lice, which are small parasitic insects that feed on human blood. It typically affects areas like the scalp, body, and pubic region but not the toenails. Pediculosis is not related to fungal infections.

Choice C rationale

Tinea pedis, commonly known as athlete's foot, is a fungal infection that primarily affects the skin on the feet, particularly between the toes. While it is a dermatophyte infection, it does not specifically affect the toenails.

Choice D rationale

Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of the toenails or fingernails. It is caused by dermatophytes, yeasts, or nondermatophyte molds. The infection leads to thickened, brittle, and discolored nails, which accurately describes a dermatophyte infection of the toenail.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale

The oculomotor nerve (cranial nerve III) is responsible for innervating the muscles that move the eye and lift the eyelid, as well as controlling pupil constriction and lens shape for focusing.

Choice B rationale

The vestibulocochlear nerve (cranial nerve VIII) is involved in hearing and balance, not in the movement of eye muscles or eyelids.

Choice C rationale

The facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) controls muscles of facial expression, taste sensations from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue, and functions in tear and saliva production.

Choice D rationale

The trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) is responsible for sensation in the face and motor functions such as biting and chewing, not for eye movements.

A. The client is exhibiting signs of medication overdose. B. Medication needs to be adjusted to higher doses. C. The client is having an exacerbation. D. The disease has entered the late stages.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Signs of medication overdose in Parkinson's disease typically include hallucinations, confusion, and dyskinesia (involuntary movements), rather than slurred speech and drooling. These symptoms are more associated with disease progression.

Choice B rationale

Increasing the medication dose might help in early or middle stages, but slurred speech and drooling indicate more advanced disease stages. Adjusting the dose might not address these specific symptoms effectively.

Choice C rationale

An exacerbation in Parkinson's disease would typically involve a worsening of existing symptoms like tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia (slowness of movement). Slurred speech and drooling suggest a more chronic progression rather than an acute exacerbation.

Choice D rationale

In the late stages of Parkinson's disease, symptoms can include significant motor dysfunction, slurred speech, and excessive drooling due to impaired swallowing and muscle control. These are signs of advanced disease progression.
