Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a pre-school age child who has epiglottitis and presents with a high fever, drooling, and a muffled voice. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C

Tongue depressors and throat cultures risk obstruction, and droplet, not airborne, precautions are appropriate.

Question 4 of 5
A nurse is teaching the parents of a child who is to start using a metered-dose inhaler (MDI) to treat asthma. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A spacer increases medication delivery to the lungs by reducing deposition in the oropharynx. Rapid inhalation is incorrect; slow, deep breaths are needed. Covering exhalation slots disrupts airflow and is not recommended.

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who was admitted with suspected rheumatic fever. The provider prescribes an anti-streptolysin O (ASO) titer. The parent asks the nurse the purpose of the test. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: An elevated ASO titer confirms a recent streptococcal infection, which is a key factor in diagnosing rheumatic fever, as it indicates the body's immune response to streptolysin O produced by group A Streptococcus. It does not measure aminoglycoside levels, directly diagnose rheumatic fever, or confirm immunity.
