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","B","C"]

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Documenting wound size includes measuring the length, width, and depth of the wound to track the healing process and plan appropriate interventions.

Choice B rationale

The wound bed should be assessed for tissue type (granulation, slough, or eschar), color, and the presence of any exudate or infection.

Choice C rationale

The periwound skin is the area around the wound which should be assessed for color, temperature, swelling, and signs of maceration or excoriation.

Choice D rationale

Pattern of eruption is more relevant to dermatological conditions such as rashes or lesions, and not a primary focus for documenting acute open wounds.

A. Roth's spots. B. One pupil is dilated and the opposite pupil is normal. C. Dilated pupils. D. Constricted pupils.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Roth's spots are retinal hemorrhages with pale centers, indicative of certain systemic conditions, but do not relate to pupil response or parasympathetic effects.

Choice B rationale

One pupil being dilated while the other is normal could indicate a variety of issues, but not specifically a parasympathetic effect. This condition is known as anisocoria.

Choice C rationale

Dilated pupils, or mydriasis, are usually the result of sympathetic stimulation, not a parasympathetic effect, which involves constriction of the pupils.

Choice D rationale

Constricted pupils, or miosis, are a parasympathetic effect typically resulting from increased activity of the parasympathetic nervous system, which reduces pupil size.
