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: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: A sibling who had a sore throat 3 weeks ago. Rheumatic fever is caused by a streptococcal infection, often originating from untreated strep throat. The bacteria responsible for rheumatic fever can be spread through respiratory droplets, making a sibling with a recent sore throat a likely source of infection.
Incorrect choices:
B: A neighbor's child who has chickenpox - Chickenpox is caused by a virus (varicella-zoster virus), not bacteria.
C: The father who had gastritis 2 weeks ago - Gastritis is not caused by the streptococcal bacteria associated with rheumatic fever.
D: A classmate who has fifth disease - Fifth disease is caused by a different virus (parvovirus B19), not streptococcal bacteria.
