School-age child with pertussis
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a school-age child who has pertussis. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct action is to report the diagnosis to the public health department (choice
C) because pertussis is a communicable disease that requires public health monitoring to prevent outbreaks. Placing the child in a protected environment (choice
A) is not necessary as pertussis is spread through respiratory droplets, not airborne transmission. Administering the pertussis vaccine (choice
B) is a preventive measure, not a treatment for an active infection. Restricting oral fluids (choice
D) is not recommended as proper hydration is important for managing pertussis symptoms.
