7-year-old child with upper respiratory infection and type 1 diabetes
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a 7-year-old child who has an upper respiratory infection and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Which of the following statements by the mother indicates a need for further instruction?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. Encouraging the child to drink half a cup of water or sugar-free fluids every 30 minutes is incorrect because it can lead to excessive fluid intake, potentially causing electrolyte imbalances. Children with diabetes are at risk of dehydration due to frequent urination, so encouraging adequate but not excessive fluid intake is important. The other statements are correct: A indicates monitoring and seeking medical attention if needed, C shows appropriate blood sugar monitoring, and D highlights the importance of reporting respiratory changes and signs of hypoglycemia.
Therefore, B is the only statement that could potentially lead to harm and requires further instruction from the nurse.
