Question 1
pts
An adolescent has a TB skin test prior to working as a volunteer in a
hospital. The adolescent is healthy and has not traveled to or from a
TB-endemic area or had close contact with anyone who has TB. The
Mantoux skin test shows 10 mm of induration after 48 hours. What will
the primary care nurse practitioner do?
Order a chest radiograph to rule out active TB.
Refer the adolescent to an infectious disease specialist.
Reassure the adolescent that this is a negative screen.
Ask the adolescent about exposure to homeless persons.
CORRECT: C
• Reassure the adolescent that this is a negative screen.
Chp 35--In children 4 years and older without risk factors, induration
must be at least 15 mm or greater to be considered to be a positive
screen. It is not necessary to question the adolescent about possible
exposures. Chest radiographs are ordered to evaluate for active TB in
persons with a positive screen. Referral to an infectious disease
specialist is done if active TB is present.
Question 2
pts
A preschool-age child is brought to clinic for evaluation of a rash. The
primary care nurse practitioner notes an intense red eruption on the
child’s cheeks and circumoral pallor. What will the nurse practitioner
tell the parents about this rash?
, The child will need to stay home from school for at least one week
This rash may be a prodromal sign of rubella or roseola.
Expect a lacy, maculopapular rash to develop on the trunk and
extremities.
The child will need immunization boosters to prevent serious disease.
CORRECT: C
• Expect a lacy, maculopapular rash to develop on the trunk and
extremities.
Chp 35--This “slapped cheek” rash is consistent with fifth disease, or
erythema infectiosum, and will be followed by a lacy, maculopapular
all-over rash. It is not a prodrome of rubella or roseola, and
immunizations are not indicated. By the time the rash appears, the
child is no longer contagious and can attend school/daycare.
Question 3
pts
A child is in the clinic after swallowing a metal bead. A radiograph of
the GI tract shows a 3 mm cylindrical object in the child’s stomach. The
child is able to swallow without difficulty and is not experiencing pain.
What is the correct course of treatment?
Refer the child for endoscopic removal of the object.
Have the parents watch for the object in the child’s stool.
Administer ipecac to induce vomiting.
Insert a nasogastric tube to flush out the object.
