Question 1 of 5
Which immunization should the nurse include in a teaching session for parents of toddler-age clients to decrease the risk for epiglottitis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, Hemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) vaccine. Hib vaccine is crucial in preventing epiglottitis, a serious respiratory condition caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b bacteria. This vaccine is recommended for toddlers to protect them from developing epiglottitis. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because while they are important vaccines for children, they do not specifically target the prevention of epiglottitis, unlike the Hib vaccine.

Choice A, Arrhythmias, are not typically associated with tonsillectomy. Choice C, Increased blood sugar, is not a common clinical manifestation after a tonsillectomy.

Question 3 of 5
A young mother asks if her 9-month-old can begin drinking cow's milk instead of formula. You explain that:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Breast milk or formula should be used for now because whole cow's milk is not recommended for infants under 1 year. Cow's milk is not suitable for infants under 1 year of age as it lacks essential nutrients like iron and can lead to iron deficiency. Therefore, it is important to continue with breast milk or formula to ensure the baby's nutritional needs are met. Choice A is incorrect as cow's milk is not easier to digest than formula for infants. Choice C is incorrect as the type of milk, whether whole or skim, is not the primary concern at this age. Choice D is incorrect as cow's milk can actually increase the risk of iron deficiency anemia in infants.
