Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who has influenza. The nurse should identify which of the following statements by the parent indicates the child has an increased risk for Reye syndrome?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: "I give my child aspirin to reduce his fever." This statement indicates an increased risk for Reye syndrome because aspirin use in children with influenza can lead to Reye syndrome, a rare but serious condition that affects the brain and liver. Reye syndrome is associated with aspirin use in children recovering from viral infections like influenza. Aspirin should be avoided in children with viral illnesses like influenza. The other choices are incorrect because ibuprofen is an appropriate medication for muscle aches, a humidifier can help with congestion, and grapefruit juice does not pose a risk for Reye syndrome.
