Nursing Described In The Case Are Characteristic

Select one of the scenarios and consider the skin disorder and underlying alteration associated with the type of rash described. Identify the pathophysiology of the alteration associated with the skin lesion and itching. Consider the following factors: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Reflect on how the factors selected might impact the disorder.
Consider the following scenarios:
Case #1
A 25-year-old woman presents with a complaint of rash that has developed over the past several weeks and seems to be progressing. On examination, she is noted to have several plaque-like lesions over the extensor surfaces of both upper and lower extremities as well as similar lesions on her scalp. The plaques are erythematous, with silvery scales, and are sharply marginated.
Case #2
A 30-year-old woman presents to the clinic complaining that she has “an itchy rash all over the place.” She noticed that her legs became red, itchy, and blistered about two days after she had been hiking in a heavily wooded area. She says that scratching broke the blisters and afterward the rash became much worse and spread all over. She is convinced that the rash could not be poison ivy because once before she was exposed to that plant and did not develop a rash. On examination, there are erythematous vesicles and bullae in linear streaks on both of her legs. Some areas are weepy, with a yellowish crust. There are ill-defined erythematous plaques studded with papulovesicles on the trunk and arms.
Case #3
A 52-year-old African American man presents to the clinic with a rash that has been worsening for several months. Review of systems is notable for a chronic cough. Examination reveals multiple red-brown dermis-based papules on the trunk, arms, and face. Several lesions are clustered near the nares. The examination is otherwise unremarkable.
Case #4
A 27-year-old woman presents to the urgent care clinic complaining of a red, itchy rash developing suddenly the day before on her arms and legs and spreading to the trunk. She denies ulcers in the mouth or genital area. Her medical history is unremarkable except for occasional episodes of genital herpes. The most recent outbreak was approximately two weeks ago. She generally takes oral acyclovir on such occasions, but her prescription has run out, and so she did not take any with her last bout. On physical examination, she has multiple erythematous papules over the arms, legs, and trunk. Many of the papules have a central area of duskiness or clearing, such that the lesions resemble targets. There is no evidence of mucosal involvement.
