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 showing signs of a severe allergic reaction to peanuts, which can progress rapidly to anaphylaxis. Calling 911 is crucial to ensure immediate medical intervention and treatment. Administering Benadryl (choice
A) may not be sufficient for a severe reaction. Symptomatic treatment for the cough (choice
B) is not the priority in this case. Administering CPR (choice
D) should only be done if the child becomes unresponsive and stops breathing, which is not the case here. It is important to focus on obtaining emergency medical assistance promptly in cases of suspected severe allergic reactions to prevent any potential life-threatening complications.
