Passage / Scenario
A client who has psoriasisA nurse in the outclient clinic is assessing a client who has psoriasis. The nurse should expect which of the following findings?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C: Silvery, white scales. This is expected in psoriasis due to the excessive skin cell turnover, resulting in the formation of characteristic silvery-white scales. Intense pain (A) is not a typical symptom of psoriasis. Unilateral lesions (B) are not a common presentation; psoriasis usually affects both sides of the body. Serous drainage (D) is not associated with psoriasis. Therefore, option C is the most likely finding in a client with psoriasis.
