Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer immunizations to a child who has an allergy to eggs. The nurse should know that an allergy to eggs is a contraindication for which of the following immunizations?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The Haemophilus influenza type b (Hib) vaccine is not contraindicated for people with egg allergies. The Hib vaccine is used to prevent Haemophilus influenza type b, a bacteria responsible for severe pneumonia, meningitis and other invasive diseases almost exclusively in children aged less than 5 years. The Inactivated poliovirus (IPv) vaccine is not contraindicated for people with egg allergies. The IPV vaccine is used to prevent polio, a crippling and potentially deadly infectious disease. The Hepatitis B (Hep
B) vaccine is not contraindicated for people with egg allergies. The HepB vaccine is used to prevent hepatitis B, a viral infection that attacks the liver. The Influenza vaccine is contraindicated for people with severe egg allergies. Most flu vaccines today are produced using an egg-based manufacturing process and thus contain a small amount of egg protein called ovalbumin.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is attending a continuing education course about communicable diseases. The nurse should identify that varicella has which of the following incubation periods?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The incubation period for varicella, or chickenpox, is typically longer than 2 to 5 days. It usually ranges from 10 to 21 days. An incubation period of 3 to 4 weeks is within the typical range for varicella. However, the average incubation period is usually around 14 to 16 days. An incubation period of 7 to 10 days is shorter than the typical incubation period for varicella, which is usually around 14 to 16 days. An incubation period of 2 to 3 weeks is within the typical range for varicella. The average incubation period is usually around 14 to 16 days.

Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about manifestations of hypoglycemia with an adolescent who has type 1 diabetes mellitus. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Rapid respirations are not typically a manifestation of hypoglycemia. They are more commonly associated with conditions that cause metabolic acidosis, such as diabetic ketoacidosis. Diminished reflexes are not a typical manifestation of hypoglycemia. They may be seen in conditions affecting the nervous system. Acetone breath is not a manifestation of hypoglycemia. It is a sign of ketoacidosis, which is a complication of hyperglycemia, not hypoglycemia. Diaphoresis, or sweating, is a common symptom of hypoglycemia. The body produces sweat as part of the sympathetic nervous system's response to hypoglycemia.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is providing guidance to a toddler's parent about the types of food that are part of a clear liquid diet. Which food, if suggested by the parent, would indicate that they have understood the instructions?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Yogurt is not part of a clear liquid diet. It is a dairy product and is not clear or liquid at room temperature. Gelatin is part of a clear liquid diet. This type of diet is often prescribed before medical procedures or tests, or for patients with certain digestive issues. It consists of liquids and foods that are clear and liquid at room temperature. Strained soup might be allowed on a full liquid diet, but it is not part of a clear liquid diet. Only the broth of the soup, which is clear and liquid at room temperature, would be allowed. Pureed fruit is not part of a clear liquid diet. While it is a liquid at room temperature, it is not clear.
