A pt comes to the clinic and asks the nurse why the skin of the forehead, palms, and soles has a yellow-orange tint. There is no yellowing of the sclera or mucous membranes. What should the nurse question the pt regarding? “Have you been ingesting large quantities of alcohol” “Have you been diagnosed with Addison’s disease?” “Have you been out in the sun a lot?” “Have you been eating large amounts of carotene-rich foods?”
