Question 1 of 5
Which of the following systems should the nurse monitor in response to this diagnosis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Cardiovascular. For this diagnosis, monitoring the cardiovascular system is crucial as it directly relates to the patient's condition. The cardiovascular system is responsible for delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues, which is essential for healing. Monitoring heart rate, blood pressure, and perfusion are vital to assess the patient's response to treatment. Gastrointestinal, respiratory, and integumentary systems may indirectly be affected but monitoring the cardiovascular system is the priority in this situation.

Which of the following instructions should the nurse provide the parents regarding administration of this medication?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Give with orange juice. This medication is likely to be acidic or require an acidic environment for optimal absorption. Orange juice is acidic and can help enhance the absorption of the medication. Milk (choice
A) may interfere with the absorption of certain medications due to calcium content. Administering at mealtimes (choice
