Question 1 of 5
A 4 year old child presents with varicella and vesicular rash in various stages of healing. Which statement by the parent indicates understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: "Once some of the lesions are crusted over, the child is not contagious." This statement indicates understanding as varicella (chickenpox) is most contagious when the lesions are in the blister phase. Crusted lesions indicate that the virus is no longer actively being shed.
Choice A is incorrect as giving children's aspirin for fever in varicella can lead to Reye's syndrome.
Choice B is incorrect as the child should stay home until all lesions are crusted over to prevent spreading the virus.
Choice D is incorrect as cool/tepid water can actually worsen itching and discomfort associated with varicella lesions.
