An 8-year-old child who has acute rheumatic fever.


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for an 8-year-old child who has acute rheumatic fever. Which of the following assessments is the nurse's priority immediately after admission?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B - Auscultating the rate and characteristics of the child's heart sounds. This is the priority because acute rheumatic fever can lead to rheumatic heart disease, affecting the heart valves. Early detection of any abnormal heart sounds or murmurs is crucial in preventing further cardiac complications. Assessing the rash (
A) and joint pain (
C) are important but not as immediate as assessing the heart sounds in this scenario. Identifying parental anxiety (
D) is also important but does not take precedence over assessing the child's physiological status.
