Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a school-age child who has shigella. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Oral rehydration prevents dehydration in shigella. High sodium worsens imbalance, antidiarrheals prolong infection, and antivirals are ineffective against bacteria.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse in an urgent care clinic is collecting data from a preschooler who reports painful urination. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a possible manifestation of a urinary tract infection?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Fever is a common systemic sign of UTI due to infection. Moist membranes indicate hydration, edema suggests renal issues, and twitching is unrelated.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with an adolescent who has a prescription for tretinoin topical for the treatment of acne. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Sunscreen prevents photosensitivity from tretinoin. Apply after 20-30 minutes, at night, and use a pea-sized amount for efficacy and safety.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is receiving a change-of-shift report for a group of clients. Which of the following clients should the nurse plan to see first?
