The nurse is caring for a child diagnosed with Kawasaki disease.
Question 1 of 5
Keeping the pathophysiology in mind, the nurse carefully monitors the child for which complication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Myocardial infarction. In children with certain underlying conditions, such as Kawasaki disease or congenital heart defects, there is a risk of developing myocardial infarction due to compromised blood flow to the heart. The nurse should monitor for signs such as chest pain, shortness of breath, and abnormal heart rhythms. Pulmonary congestion (
B) is more related to heart failure. Roth spots (
C) are retinal hemorrhages seen in infective endocarditis, not a common complication in children. Arthralgia (
D) refers to joint pain and is not a common complication associated with pathophysiology in children that would necessitate monitoring.
