Answer 1

For the first scenario, the priority nursing diagnosis for the 28-year-old HIV positive patient with burning pain and lesions over the face would be:b. Impaired skin integrityThe presence of vesicles with an erythematous base on the patient's face and eyelid indicates a disruption in the skin's integrity, which is a priority concern in this case. The patient's worry about disfigurement is significant, but the immediate physical manifestation of impaired skin integrity takes precedence.For the second scenario, the most effective management for the 22-year-old male patient with a rash that appears as oozing, thin-roofed vesicles developing a honey-colored crust would be:a. Acyclovir ointmentThe description of the rash is consistent with herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection, and acyclovir ointment is the appropriate treatment for this condition. It helps to reduce the duration and severity of the outbreak and can prevent future recurrences.
