Question 4 of 5
A 5-year-old who has strep throat was given aspirin for fever. The nurse knows to expect which change in the child's respiratory pattern?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is known to cause metabolic acidosis in children when taken in high doses. Metabolic acidosis can lead to shallow respirations as a compensatory mechanism for the body to try and increase the blood pH by blowing off carbon dioxide (CO2). Shallow breathing helps reduce the amount of CO2 retained in the body, thus reducing serum pH levels. It is important to closely monitor the respiratory status of a child who has been given aspirin, especially with the risk of metabolic acidosis. It is contraindicated to give aspirin to children due to the risk of Reye's syndrome, a rare but serious condition.
