Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who was admitted with suspected rheumatic fever. The provider prescribes an anti-streptolysin O (ASO) titer. The parent asks the nurse the purpose of the test. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: An elevated ASO titer confirms a recent streptococcal infection, which is a key factor in diagnosing rheumatic fever, as it indicates the body's immune response to streptolysin O produced by group A Streptococcus. It does not measure aminoglycoside levels, directly diagnose rheumatic fever, or confirm immunity.

Question 2 of 5
After all the blisters have crusted over
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Children with varicella are contagious until blisters crust over, making this the safe time to return to school. Vaccines prevent, not treat, varicella, antivirals don't determine contagiousness, and early rash stages are highly infectious.
