Question 1 of 5
A child is admitted to the pediatric unit with a diagnosis of Kawasaki disease. Which nursing intervention is most appropriate during this initial phase?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Administering intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). During the initial phase of Kawasaki disease, IVIG is the most appropriate nursing intervention as it helps reduce the risk of coronary artery aneurysms, which is a common complication of the disease. IVIG also helps to decrease inflammation and prevent further damage to the coronary arteries. Administering antibiotics (
A) is not indicated for Kawasaki disease as it is not caused by a bacterial infection. Monitoring for signs of coronary artery aneurysms (
B) is important but not the most appropriate initial intervention. Providing comfort measures for peeling skin on the hand (
C) is not a priority during the initial phase when the focus is on preventing cardiac complications.
