Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Diffuse is used to describe lesions that are widespread. Serpiginous describes lesions with wavy borders. Clustered describes lesions grouped together. Linear describes lesions occurring in a straight line. Annular lesions are ringlike with raised borders, circinate lesions are circular, and circumscribed lesions have well-defined sharp borders. Coalesced describes lesions that merge with one another and appear confluent.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Pallor conjunctivae signifies anemia. The nurse should assess the client's hemoglobin and hematocrit to confirm anemia. The other laboratory results do not relate to this client's potential anemia.
