Practice Question
Which question(s) should the nurse ask to a patient concerned about a rash? (Select all that apply)
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Where is the rash located and has it spread?
Rationale:
🔵 Asking about the location and spread of a rash helps determine the pattern, severity, and possible causes such as infection, allergy, or systemic illness.
🔵 Asking how the rash affects functioning assesses the impact on daily activities and helps prioritize care or urgency of treatment.
🔵 Asking when the rash started provides essential information about onset, progression, and potential triggers such as new medications, foods, chemicals, or infections.
🔵 These questions align with therapeutic communication, which focuses on open-ended, non-judgmental assessment.
🔵 They also support accurate diagnosis, ensuring the nurse collects objective data about the rash characteristics and timeline.
