Question 1 of 5
The parents of a 2-year-old child diagnosed with measles call the pediatric clinic about the child being uncomfortable, irritable, and fretful. Which recommendation should the nurse discuss?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Acetaminophen reduces discomfort in measles. Aspirin risks Reye's syndrome, diphenhydramine cream isn't suitable, and denying medication ignores symptom relief options.
Question 2 of 5
Common sites for psoriasis include:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Psoriasis commonly affects the elbows, knees, and scalp.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is preparing to administer influenza vaccines to a mass drive-through clinic. Which statement by a client would indicate further questioning prior to giving the client the influenza vaccine?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Influenza vaccines are recommended for persons at high risk for serious sequelae of influenza. The nurse should be aware that a client with a sensitivity to eggs should not receive the vaccine. Vaccines prepared from chicken or duck embryos are contraindicated in clients who are allergic to eggs.
Question 4 of 5
The mother of a severely handicapped child states she is exhausted and voices the need to 'take a break' to the nurse. What type of referral would best benefit the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Individuals who are faced with caring for ill or handicapped family members might need a 'break.' The best option would be a respite care provider, which offers short in-home services to free the caregiver temporarily. Hospice care is for dying clients, home health care is for clients unable to leave home, and ambulatory clinics are for limited point-of-care services.
Question 5 of 5
After suffering a massive cerebral hemorrhage, a client of American Indian descent is not expected to survive. The family arrives at the hospital. In conversation with the family, they report they observe most of their religious and cultural traditions. Which of the following interventions by the nursing staff would be most appropriate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Traditional American Indians prefer to mourn in private, often away from the dying client. Offering a private room respects this cultural practice.
