A 9-year-old child who has acute rheumatic fever

Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assisting with the admission of a 9-year-old child who has acute rheumatic fever. When obtaining the client's history, it is appropriate for the nurse to ask the parent which of the following questions?

A. Has your son had a sore throat recently? B. Was your son born with this cardiac defect? C. Are you aware that your son will have to be in isolation? D. Has your child had any injuries recently?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale:
Rationale: A sore throat can be a symptom of acute rheumatic fever, which is important for the nurse to assess. This can help in diagnosing the condition and planning appropriate care. Asking about a recent sore throat is relevant to the child's current health status and can guide further assessment and treatment.
Summary:
B: This question is not relevant to acute rheumatic fever.
C: Isolation is not necessary for acute rheumatic fever, so this question is not appropriate.
D: Recent injuries are not directly related to acute rheumatic fever and are not relevant to the child's current condition.
