A child who has rheumatic fever
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who has rheumatic fever. When obtaining the child's medical history from the parent, the nurse should recognize the significance of which of the following data as the possible source of the child's infection?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: A sibling who had a sore throat 3 weeks ago. Rheumatic fever is a complication of untreated streptococcal infection. The child likely got infected from the sibling who had a sore throat, which could have been caused by streptococcal bacteria.
Therefore, this data is significant as a possible source of the child's infection. The other choices are incorrect because gastritis, fifth disease, and chickenpox are not caused by streptococcal bacteria, which is the key pathogen associated with rheumatic fever. It is important to focus on the timeline and the potential link to streptococcal infection when considering the source of infection in rheumatic fever cases.
