Question 5 of 5
Which of these clients is at the highest risk for developing an upper respiratory infection?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Preschool-aged children, like the 3-year-old in this scenario, are at a higher risk for developing upper respiratory infections compared to other age groups. This is because their immune systems are still developing and they have frequent close contact with other children, making it easier for viruses to spread. Additionally, young children may not have developed good hygiene habits yet, such as proper handwashing, which further increases their risk of infection.
