Extract:
A child with pertussis who is in the convalescent stage
Question 1 of 5
The nurse provides home care instructions to the parents of a child hospitalized with pertussis who is in the convalescent stage and is being prepared for discharge. Which statement by a parent indicates a need for further instruction?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Rationale:
Choice B is incorrect because maintaining droplet precautions and a quiet environment for 2 weeks is not necessary during the convalescent stage of pertussis. The contagious period for pertussis typically lasts for the first 5 days of antibiotic treatment. Once the child is in the convalescent stage, they are no longer contagious and do not require droplet precautions. The focus should be on supportive care and managing symptoms.
Choices A, C, and D are all appropriate instructions for parents of a child with pertussis in the convalescent stage.
