Question 1 of 5
Which nursing consideration is important when caring for a child with impetigo contagiosa?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Carefully washing hands and maintaining cleanliness when caring for an infected child with impetigo contagiosa is important due to its highly contagious nature. Impetigo is a skin infection that is easily spread through direct contact with the lesions or with items contaminated by the infected person such as towels, clothing, or bedding. By washing hands and maintaining cleanliness, caregivers can help prevent the spread of infection to others and minimize the risk of re-infection to the child. This nursing consideration is crucial in managing impetigo and promoting the child's recovery.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is helping parents achieve a more nutritionally adequate vegetarian diet for their child. Which is most likely lacking in their particular diet?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A vegetarian diet can provide adequate amounts of protein, fat, and even complete protein if well-balanced. However, certain essential nutrients like vitamins C and A are more commonly found in higher concentrations in animal-based products. Therefore, in a vegetarian diet, particularly if not carefully planned, there may be a potential lack of these specific vitamins. It is important for the nurse to educate the parents on alternative plant-based sources of vitamins C and A to ensure their child's nutritional requirements are met.

Question 4 of 5
Which is an important nursing action related to the use of tape and/or adhesives on preterm newborns?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: An important nursing action related to the use of tape and/or adhesives on preterm newborns is to avoid using tape and adhesives until the skin is more mature. Preterm newborns have delicate and fragile skin that is more prone to damage and injury. Using tape and adhesives on immature skin can increase the risk of skin tears, irritations, and damage. It is recommended to wait until the skin matures and becomes less delicate before using tape or adhesives on preterm newborns to prevent skin-related complications.
Question 5 of 5
To whom is RhIG (RhoGAM) administered to prevent Rh isoimmunization?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: RhIG (RhoGAM) is administered to Rh-negative women who deliver an Rh-positive newborn to prevent Rh isoimmunization. Rh isoimmunization can occur when an Rh-negative mother is exposed to Rh-positive fetal blood during childbirth, leading to the production of antibodies against Rh antigen. RhIG works by binding to and destroying any fetal Rh-positive red blood cells that have entered the mother's circulation, preventing her immune system from mounting an immune response and producing antibodies. This helps to protect subsequent pregnancies from complications related to Rh isoimmunization. Therefore, RhIG administration is crucial in preventing sensitization and ensuring the health of future pregnancies in Rh-negative women who deliver an Rh-positive newborn.
