Question 1 of 5
A mother calls her pediatrician's office concerned about her 7-month-old son. She gave him peanuts for the second time for lunch and he has vomited three times, is coughing and looks flushed. What is the priority of the nurse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Tell the mother to call 911. In this scenario, the infant is displaying symptoms of a severe allergic reaction to peanuts, such as vomiting, coughing, and flushing. Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening emergency that requires immediate medical attention. Calling 911 will ensure that the child receives prompt treatment and monitoring in a healthcare setting. Giving Benadryl (choice
A) may be appropriate, but the priority is to seek emergency medical care. Recommending symptomatic treatment for the cough (choice
B) is not sufficient in this critical situation. Administering CPR (choice
D) is not indicated unless the child stops breathing. The correct priority is to act swiftly by calling for emergency help.
