Question 1 of 5
a school-age child is admitted in vaso-occlusive sickle cell crisis. the child's care should include which of the following?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In a vaso-occlusive sickle cell crisis, it is crucial to focus on adequate hydration and pain management. Hydration is essential to prevent further sickling of red blood cells, which can exacerbate tissue damage and pain. Pain management is a key aspect of care as vaso-occlusive crises often cause severe pain that requires prompt and effective treatment. Administering heparin is not indicated in a vaso-occlusive sickle cell crisis as it is primarily used for conditions like deep vein thrombosis. Correcting acidosis and replacing factor VIII are also not typically part of the management of a vaso-occlusive sickle cell crisis.

Vernix caseosa helps protect the baby's delicate skin from the amniotic fluid in the uterus and acts as a moisturizer as well. It also has antimicrobial properties, providing a barrier against infection. After birth, healthcare providers typically wipe off or gently wash the vernix from the baby's skin during the first bath.

Question 4 of 5
Which is usually the only symptom of pediculosis capitis (head lice)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The most common symptom of pediculosis capitis, also known as head lice infestation, is itching of the scalp. Head lice feed on blood from the scalp, leading to irritation and allergic reactions, causing itching. Itching is often more prominent behind the ears and at the nape of the neck where head lice tend to lay their eggs (nits). While secondary symptoms such as scalp rash, vesicles, and localized inflammatory responses can occur due to scratching or allergic reactions, itching is typically the initial and predominant symptom of head lice infestation.
