The nurse answers a client's questions regarding the integumentary system and helps the client understand its primary functions.

Maintain pH balance A) 1, 2, 3, 4 B) 1, 2, 4, 5 C) 1, 2, 3, 5 D) 2, 3, 4, 5 3. The student nurse is reviewing with a client that the skin is divided into layers. Which information is the best description of the dermis layer? A) Made up of the skin's thin, superficial outer layer B) Contains important structures of hair, glands, blood vessels, and nerves C) Cushions, supports, nourishes, and insulates the skin D) Anchors the skin to underlying tissues and organs 4. The nurse is collecting data from a client and is completing a review of the client's skin.

The client tells the nurse of breaking into a “cold sweat” before the presentation. Based on this information, what is the best description for the sweat glands that the nurse can share with the client that causes the “cold sweat?” A) Sudoriferous glands are located in the epidermis. B) Apocrine sweat glands are stimulated by anxiety or fear. C) Mammary sweat glands secrete sweat into numerous ducts that empty into pores. D) Eccrine sweat glands respond to external and internal heat. 7.A student nurse is reviewing information on the sudoriferous glands and the ceruminal glands for a postclinical presentation. The student nurse has to provide a chart that outlines information about these glands. Based on this information, what information should the nurse include about the ceruminal glands? A) Secrete a thick, oily, milky sweat into the hair follicle B) Distributed widely over the body, especially numerous on the upper lip, forehead, back, palms, and soles C) Regulation of body temperature by providing a cooling effect D) Protect the tympanic membrane 8. One important nursing technique is the measurement of accurate body temperature. The body loses heat through four processes. The nurse is reviewing the four processes with her high school child. Based on the nurse's information, which is an example of convection that the nurse can provide to the high school child? A) The body gives off waves of heat from uncovered surfaces. B) An oscillating fan blows currents of cool air across the surface of a warm body. C) Body fluid in the form of perspiration and insensible loss is vaporized from the skin. D) The body transfers heat to an ice pack, causing the ice to melt.
