Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for the 4-year-old hospitalized with complications from chicken pox. Which type of precautions should the nurse plan?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Chickenpox (varicella) is transmitted via airborne particles and droplets from respiratory secretions, requiring airborne and droplet precautions. A negative-airflow room prevents the spread of infectious particles to other areas.

Question 2 of 5

An elderly woman is admitted to the hospital with a productive cough, progressive forgetfulness, an inability to concentrate, and disinterest in her personal hygiene. What should be of greatest priority as the nurse assesses this client?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: A productive cough is a priority as it may indicate a respiratory infection, which can be life-threatening in the elderly, requiring immediate assessment.

Question 3 of 5

The nurse on the pediatric unit is preparing to administer acetaminophen according to weight to the 6-year-old diagnosed with chicken pox. The recommended dose is 15 mg per kilogram. How many milligrams should the nurse give if the child weighs 54 lb?

Correct Answer: 368 mg

Rationale: Convert 54 lb to kg: 54 ÷ 2.2 = 24.55 kg. Calculate dose: 15 mg/kg × 24.55 kg = 368.25 mg, rounded to 368 mg.
