A toddler with a history of lead poisoning
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a toddler who has a history of lead poisoning. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Perform developmental testing for delays. Lead poisoning can affect a child's cognitive and developmental abilities. By conducting developmental testing, the nurse can identify any delays or deficits caused by lead exposure. This will help in early intervention and appropriate management.
A: Obtaining a stool specimen for lead levels is not typically done in assessing lead poisoning in toddlers. Blood lead levels are the primary diagnostic test.
B: Initiating a low-iron diet is not recommended for lead absorption. Iron-rich foods can actually help reduce lead absorption.
D: Inspecting the skin for discoloration is not a specific assessment for lead poisoning in toddlers. Lead poisoning symptoms are more systemic and not just skin-related.
