You are examining a pregnant patient and have noted a vascular lesion.
When you blanche over the vascular lesion, the site blanches and refills
evenly from the center outward. The nurse documents this lesion as a:
Response Feedback:
Spider angiomas are dilated arterioles. A network of dilated capillaries
radiate from the center arteriole, outward like a spider's legs. Spider
angiomas are often associated with high estrogen levels, as occur in
pregnancy. Blanching over the center is followed by a rapid return of
redness from the center outward. Telangiectases refill erratically.
Petechiae and purpura do not blanch.

Question 4

of the night complaining of intense itching to his legs. Today, your
inspection reveals honeycolored exudate from the vesicular rash on his
legs. Which condition is consistent with the above findings?
Response Feedback: Impetigo causes intense pruritus, regional
lymphadenopathy, and honeycolored exudative crusting as the vesicles
or bullae rupture and dry.
Question 5

Which nail change found on examination would be most alarming?
, Response Feedback: Dark bands in a darkskinned person are normal;

2 out of 2 points
The nurse assesses the nail base angle using the Schamroth technique.
The normal expected examination finding is nail beds that are at the
bases.
Response Feedback: The normal nail base angle should be 160 degrees,
which results in a concave nail base that produces a diamondshaped
window with the Schamroth technique.
