My child will receive antibiotics for several weeks.
My child can return to playing sports once he is discharged. My child needs to be in contact isolation.
Answer: b
The nurse should instruct the parent that the child will receive antibiotic therapy for at least 4 weeks
. Surgery might be indicated if the antibiotics are not successful.
A - incorrect
Weight bearing must be avoided with osteomyelitis. Therefore, the child is placed in a comfortable position with the limb supported
. There is no indication for a cast.
C- incorrect
Weight bearing should be avoided to prevent complications and minimize pain. Therefore, it will be several weeks to months before the child can play contact sports
.

A- Biots respiration
B- Chaney Stokes respiration
C-
tackypnea
D - Bradypnea
Answer- c
The nurse should identify the sound heard during auscultation as tachypnea, which is a rapid, regular breathing pattern
. This breathing pattern often occurs with anxiety, fever, metabolic acidosis, or severe anemia
.
A- Biot's

C- determine the allergen that caused the child's reaction
D- administer IM epinephrine to the child
Answer- d
When using the urgent vs nonurgent approach to client care, the nurse determines that the priority action is administering IM epinephrine to the child. During an anaphylactic reaction, histamine release causes bronchoconstriction
and
vasodilation
. This is an emergency
because ultimately it causes decreased blood return to the heart
.
A- Elevating the head of the child's bed is important to facilitate breathing and circulation. However, it is not the priority action the nurse should take.

range and indicates the current treatment regimen the infant is receiving for dehydration is
effective.
A- A potassium level of 2.9 mEq/L is below the expected reference range and indicates hypokalemia
.
C- A urine specific gravity of 1.035 is above the expected reference range and indicates concentrated urine

A- The nurse should instruct the parent to place the infant in a supine position to sleep. Prone and side-lying positions are risk factors for SIDS.
B- Placing the infant on a large pillow to sleep can increase the risk of suffocation, asphyxiation, and SIDS.
C- The nurse should instruct the parent to use a firm mattress and avoid the use of waterbeds, beanbags, or soft mattresses when placing the infant to bed. The use of a soft mattress in the infant's crib is a risk factor for SIDS and can lead to asphyxiation.

A- Clear the immediate area around the child of hazardous objects
B- loosen the child restrictive clothing
C- assist the child to a side-lying position on the floor
D- apply an oxygen mask to the child
Answer- c
The greatest risk to this child is aspiration, occlusion of the airway, and bodily injury from falling out of the chair. The nurse should ease the child down to floor in a side-lying position immediately. This position enables the child's secretions to drain from the mouth, preventing aspiration, and maintaining a patent airway
.
A- The nurse should clear the area around the child of hazardous objects
. However, this is not the first action the nurse should take.
B- The nurse should loosen the child's restrictive clothing
. However, this is not the first action the nurse should take.
