A nurse is taking the history of a 4-year-old child who will undergo a
cardiac catheterization. Which statement by the parent may
necessitate rescheduling of the procedure?
"My child is allergic to iodine and shellfish."
"My child is very scared and nervous about the procedure."
"My child is not taking any medication."
,"My child seems listless and slightly warm."
Give this one a try later!
"My child seems listless and slightly warm."
Fever and other signs and symptoms of infection may necessitate
rescheduling the procedure. Although information about allergies is
important, not all contrast media contain iodine as a base. The nurse
should address the child's fears in a developmentally appropriate way, but
fear of the procedure does not warrant rescheduling. Not using any
medication would not be a reason for rescheduling the procedure.
"The feeling of the heart skipping a beat is common."
Reports of heart "fluttering" or "skipping a beat" should be reported to the
healthcare provider as this can be a sign of a complication. This statement is
appropriate because tub baths should be avoided for about 3 days. This
statement is appropriate because strenuous activity is limited for about 3 days.
Changes in skin color or difficulty breathing indicate potential complications that
need to be reported.
"My infant gets sweaty when eating."
Diaphoresis with nipple feeding indicates heart failure. Shortness of breath
would suggest heart failure. Children with heart failure experience subtle signs
that suggest that something is wrong. Children with heart failure often display
subtle signs such as difficulty feeding.
"My child likes to stop and squat wherever my child walks."
