Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 5
Pallor may be seen in the client with hypotension. It can be produced by the sympathetic nervous stimulation that results in vasoconstriction due to smoking cigarettes. The client with a decreased oxygen saturation level may exhibit pallor. A cold environment can produce vasoconstriction and pallor. It is not normally associated with osteoporosis.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 5

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. 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. Tattoos and body piercings can increase the client's risk for developing an integumentary disorder. Certain medications, if taken on a regular basis, can increase the client's risk for developing skin disorders. 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.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
