Problem: Jay, 19 years of age, comes to the clinic where you work complaining of an itchy rash.
1. What assessment questions should you ask?
2. What objective data should you collect?
3. You observe the rash over his trunk, legs, and upper arms. What clues does the location of the rash provide about it's cause?
4. You observe that the rash consists of flat, red spots that are all merged together. How should you document this on Jay's chart?
