Question 3 of 5
James is an 18-month-old child who has had a cough for 7 days with no general danger signs. He has a temperature of 37.5°C and a respiratory rate of 41 breaths/minute. How will you classify James' breathing?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct classification for James' breathing is "C: Normal breathing." The respiratory rate for a child of his age should be between 20-30 breaths/minute. Since James has a respiratory rate of 41 breaths/minute, it may seem elevated. However, it is important to consider that children under 2 years often have higher respiratory rates compared to older children and adults. In the absence of other danger signs such as chest in-drawing, grunting, or stridor, a respiratory rate of 41 breaths/minute in an 18-month-old child with a cough does not necessarily indicate very fast breathing. Therefore, James' breathing is classified as normal based on his age group and the absence of other concerning signs. Summary: A: Slow breathing - Incorrect, as James' respiratory rate is elevated, not slow. B: Fast breathing - Incorrect, as James' respiratory rate does not meet the criteria for very fast breathing. D: Very fast breathing - Incorrect
Question 4 of 5
James' illness can be classified as:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct classification for James' illness is D: No pneumonia. This is because the question specifically states that James does not have pneumonia. Therefore, it is important to focus on the information provided in the question itself. Choices A, B, and C all suggest some form of pneumonia, which contradicts the information given. It is crucial to accurately interpret and address the details provided in the question to arrive at the correct answer.
Question 5 of 5
After 3 days, the nurse notes that James has chest indrawing and stridor. His mother returned him to the health center immediately. The nurse should:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because chest indrawing and stridor indicate respiratory distress, which can be life-threatening. Giving the first dose of antibiotics and referring urgently ensures prompt assessment and appropriate management by a higher-level healthcare provider. Changing medication without proper assessment (choice A) can delay necessary treatment. Advising to continue antibiotics (choice B) overlooks the urgency of the situation. Observing the child at the center (choice D) is not sufficient for managing respiratory distress.
