ATI Pediatrics Exam 4 Questions
Extract:
Molly, with suspected rheumatic fever
Question 1 of 5
Molly, with suspected rheumatic fever, is admitted to the pediatric unit. When obtaining the child's history, the nurse considers which information to be most important?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: A recent episode of pharyngitis. This is the most important information because rheumatic fever typically follows an untreated or inadequately treated streptococcal infection, such as pharyngitis. By identifying a recent episode of pharyngitis, the nurse can establish a potential link to the development of rheumatic fever.
Choices A, C, and D are less relevant as they do not directly indicate a possible trigger for the rheumatic fever. Vomiting may suggest a gastrointestinal issue, lack of interest in food could indicate a variety of issues, and a fever alone is not specific enough to suggest rheumatic fever.
