Extract:
A child diagnosed with rubeola (measles)
Question 1 of 5
The nurse caring for a child diagnosed with rubeola (measles) notes that the pediatrician has documented the presence of Koplik's spots. On the basis of this documentation, which observation is expected?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. Koplik's spots are small blue-white spots with a red base found on the buccal mucosa. This is a characteristic finding in rubeola (measles) and typically appears before the onset of the rash. These spots are pathognomonic for measles and help differentiate it from other viral exanthems. The other choices are incorrect because:
A) Whitish vesicles located across the chest are not a characteristic feature of Koplik's spots.
C) Pinpoint petechiae noted on both legs are not associated with measles.
D) Petechiae spots that are reddish and pinpoint on the soft palate are not indicative of Koplik's spots.
