Which of the following questions by the nurse would be unexpected based on the specific data the nurse is attempting to gain during the interview? 1. "How much time do you spend outdoors?"
2. "How do you care for your skin?"
3. "Do you have any tattoos or body piercings?"
4. "Have you noticed any drainage from your skin?"
4
Rationale 1: The nurse can ask the client about the amount of time that the client spends outside. Spending time outside in the sunshine is a risk factor for the development of skin disorders, such as squamous cell carcinoma.
Rationale 2: The nurse can ask the client about the way that the client cares for the skin. There may be something that the client is doing while caring for the skin that is a risk factor for the development of an integumentary disorder.
Rationale 3: Tattoos and body piercings can increase the client's risk for developing an integumentary disorder.
Rationale 4: When the nurse asks the client about the presence of drainage from the skin, this question is directed at determining the presence of a clinical manifestation of an integumentary disorder. This question is not necessarily directed at gaining information about risk factors.
