    ATI PN Comprehensive Predictor 2023 Proctored Exam 4

    A nurse in a provider's office is collecting data from a client who has psoriasis. Which of the following statements by the client should the nurse report to the provider?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Sunlight exposure can actually be beneficial for clients with psoriasis, as ultraviolet (UV) light can help reduce the growth of skin cells and alleviate symptoms. If the client is limiting their sunlight exposure, they might be missing out on a potential therapeutic benefit. However, it is important to balance sun exposure and avoid overexposure to prevent skin damage. B. Avoiding fabric softener can be a proactive measure to prevent skin irritation, which is beneficial for someone with psoriasis. C. This could indicate emotional distress or body image concerns, but it doesn’t necessarily need to be reported unless the client shows signs of depression or anxiety affecting their daily life. D. This is correct practice to ensure the effectiveness of the medication.
