A 4-year-old child with varicella and vesicular rash in various stages of healing
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 because varicella (chickenpox) is most contagious when the rash is in the blister stage, and becomes less contagious as the lesions crust over. By recognizing this fact, the parent demonstrates knowledge of when the child is no longer considered infectious.
Choice A is incorrect because giving children's aspirin for fever during varicella can lead to a serious condition called Reye's syndrome.
Choice B is incorrect as the child should stay home until all lesions are crusted over, not just when the fever subsides.
Choice D is incorrect as sponge-bathing with cool water can be uncomfortable for the child and potentially worsen itching and irritation.
