Rationale:
1. Weighing the child would be important but
not the priority when concerned about an
infectious cause. Initiating droplet precau-
tions to prevent infecting others would be a
priority, then weighing the infant.
2. The symptoms are not suggestive of a cold
but something more serious. Infants do not
usually lose weight, nor are they irritable
with a simple cold.
3.
Children with tuberculosis may have a
history of living in a crowded home or
could be homeless. Other symptoms
may include a cough, cold symptoms,
low-grade fever, irritability, poor
appetite, and exposure to a person
with tuberculosis. Initiation of droplet
precautions and isolation of the infant
would be warranted in this situation.
4. Taking the infant's temperature is important, but initiating droplet precautions
would be the priority.

highly suspicious of tuberculosis given the family and patient history. Health-care personnel

respiratory precautions.

2. Vital signs every 4 hours until stable.
3. Strict intake and output monitoring hourly.

Kawasaki disease are the major complications in pediatric patients. Continuous cardiac
monitoring is required to alert
the nurse of any cardiovascular complications. Decreased oxygen saturation
and respiratory changes have been
shown to be early indicators of potential complications.
2. Vital signs would be taken every 1 to
2 hours until stable on a new admission
with Kawasaki disease.
3. Strict intake and output is very important,
but because the major complications with

Kawasaki disease are cardiovascular, contin-
uous cardiac monitoring is the priority.
4. High-dose aspirin therapy is begun and
continued until the child has been afebrile
for 48 to 72 hours; then the child is placed
on low-dose therapy.
TEST-TAKING HINT:
The test taker should
understand that cardiovascular manifesta-
tions of Kawasaki disease are the major
complications in pediatric patients.
3.
Which clinical assessment of a neonate with bacterial meningitis would warrant
immediate intervention?
1. Irritability.
2. Rectal temperature of 100.6°F (38.1°C).
3. Quieter than usual.
