Preschooler with acute nasopharyngitis.
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a preschooler with acute nasopharyngitis. Which information should the nurse include when teaching the parents about this health problem?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: A cough that accompanies a cold should not be suppressed. This is because a cough helps to clear mucus and secretions from the airways, which is important for respiratory health. Suppressing a cough can lead to complications like pneumonia.
Choice A is incorrect because pulling the ear is not a typical symptom of a cold in preschoolers.
Choice B is incorrect because antibiotics are not effective for treating viral infections like the common cold.
Choice C is incorrect because it is common for children to have more than one cold per year, especially in preschool-aged children who are exposed to various viruses.
In summary, it is important for parents to understand that coughing is a natural and beneficial response to a cold, and suppressing it can be harmful.
