A nurse is caring for a client who has contact dermatitis of the neck and upper chest. Which assessment data is an expected finding?

A. Generalized joint discomfort is not commonly associated with contact dermatitis; this condition typically affects the skin locally rather than causing systemic joint symptoms. B. Systemic symptoms such as elevated temperature are generally not expected with contact dermatitis, as it is usually a localized skin reaction. C. Pruritus (itching) is a common symptom of contact dermatitis, so denial of pruritus would not be expected. D. Contact dermatitis often occurs due to exposure to a skin irritant, making a report of such exposure a typical finding in the assessment.
