A child who has influenza
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who has influenza. The nurse should identify that which of the following statements by the parent indicates the child has an increased risk for Reye syndrome?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because giving aspirin to a child with influenza can increase the risk of developing Reye syndrome, a rare but serious condition that affects the liver and brain. The use of aspirin in children with viral illnesses like influenza has been linked to Reye syndrome. Ibuprofen (choice
A) is a safer alternative for pain relief. Drinking grapefruit juice (choice
B) and using a humidifier (choice
C) are unrelated to Reye syndrome. In summary, giving aspirin to a child with influenza is the key factor that increases the risk of Reye syndrome compared to the other options.
