Question 1 of 5.
The male client presents to the public health clinic complaining of joint pain and malaise. On assessment, the nurse notes a rash on the trunk, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet. Which action should the nurse implement next?
A. Determine if the client has had a chancre sore within the last two (2) months.
B. Ask the client how many sexual partners he has had in the past year.
C. Refer the client to a dermatologist for a diagnostic work-up.
D. Have the client provide a clean voided midstream urine specimen.
Explanation: Joint pain, malaise, and a rash on palms/soles suggest secondary syphilis; confirming a prior chancre sore supports this diagnosis. Partner history, dermatology referral, and urine tests are less urgent.
