6. A 2-month-old infant has been diagnosed with pneumonia with respiratory
alkalosis. The provider also suspects that the infant is suffering from
paresthesias of the hands and feet, because the infant pulls away and cries
when his extremities are touched. What client teaching can the nurse provide
the parents to comfort the infant with paresthesias?
A) Postural drainage techniques
B) Massage techniques
C) Breastfeeding techniques
D) Swaddling techniques - ANSWER ✔ Answer: D
Explanation: Comfort measures that may be successful for infants
experiencing paresthesias include swaddling, calming touch, and speaking
with a quiet voice. A mother of a 2-month-old infant likely already
understands breastfeeding techniques if she breastfeeds the infant. Massage
techniques will likely cause additional discomfort for the infant; calming
touch is needed instead. Postural drainage techniques are used to clear the
airway, not comfort the infant.

pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) with a partial-thickness thermal burn.
When planning care for this client, which should the nurse consider
regarding this type of burn?

still involve the epidermis only.
B) A superficial partial-thickness burn extends from the skin's
surface into the papillary layer of the dermis.
C) A deep partial-thickness burn is often bright red and has a
moist, glistening appearance with blister formation.
D) A superficial partial-thickness burn is less painful than a deep
partial-thickness burn. - ANSWER ✔ Answer: B
Explanation: A superficial partial-thickness burn extends from the skin's
surface into the papillary layer of the dermis. Partial-thickness burns are
deeper than superficial burns, extending from the epidermis into the dermis
layer as well. A superficial partial-thickness burn is often bright red and has
a moist, glistening appearance with blister formation. A deep partial-
thickness burn is less painful than a superficial partial-thickness burn
because sensation is decreased at the site.
