A nurse is interviewing the parents of a toddler about use of complementary or alternative medical practices. The parents share several practices they use in their household. Which should the nurse document as complementary or alternative medical practices? (Select all that apply.)

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Administration of chamomile tea at bedtime is considered a complementary medical practice, as it involves the use of an herb for its potential therapeutic effects.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Esophageal pH monitoring measures the frequency and duration of acid exposure in the esophagus, helping diagnose GERD.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Osteogenesis imperfecta, also known as brittle bone disease, is a genetic disorder that affects collagen production, leading to brittle and easily fractured bones. In addition to bone fragility, individuals with osteogenesis imperfecta may also experience teeth abnormalities such as dentinogenesis imperfecta (discolored and weakened teeth) and ligament laxity due to the improper development of connective tissues. This incomplete development of teeth, bones, and ligaments is a characteristic feature of osteogenesis imperfecta, making it the correct choice in this scenario. Congenital hip dysplasia, Duchenne's muscular dystrophy, and osteomyelitis do not typically involve the same constellation of symptoms related to teeth, bones, and ligaments seen in osteogenesis imperfecta.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The measurement is consistently low, indicating it is neither close to the true value (inaccurate) nor consistent with the reference range.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Barbiturate anticonvulsants are effective in treating partial seizures, tonic-clonic seizures, and febrile seizures. However, they are not considered first-line treatment for absence seizures. Absence seizures typically respond better to other anticonvulsant medications such as ethosuximide or valproic acid. Barbiturates have a sedative effect and can cause drowsiness or cognitive impairment, which may not be ideal for managing absence seizures where maintaining alertness and cognitive function is important.
