A nurse is teaching a group of guardians about influenza. Which
of the following information should the nurse include in the
teaching?
A. "Amantadine will prevent the illness."
B. "Rimantadine is administered intramuscularly."
C. "Zanamivir can be given to children 1 year and older."
D. "Oseltamivir should be given within 48 hours of onset of
manifestations." correct answer: D
Oseltamivir decreases flu manifestations in clients who have
findings for less than 48 hours
A nurse is assessing a child who has epiglottitis. Which of the
following findings should the nurse expect? (Select all that
apply)
A. Hoarseness and difficulty speaking
B. Difficulty swallowing
C. Low-grade fever
D. Drooling
E. Dry, barking cough
F. Stridor correct answer: A, B, D, F
These are all manifestations of epiglottitis. I know, this rationale
was dope.
,A nurse is assessing a child who has asthma. Which of the
following are indications of deterioration in of the child's
respiratory status? (Select all that apply).
A. Oxygen saturation 95%
B. Wheezing
C. Retraction of sternal muscles
D. Warm extremities
E. Nasal flaring correct answer: B, C, E
Bronchoconstriction causes wheezing, which is an indicator of
deterioration in a child's respiratory status. Increased work of
breathing cause retraction of the sternal muscles, which is an
indicator of deterioration in a child's respiratory status. Increased
work of breathing causes nasal flaring, which is an indicator of
deterioration in a child's respiratory status
A nurse is teaching an adolescent about the appropriate use of
his asthma medications. Which of the following medications
should the nurse instruct the client to use as needed before
exercise?
A. Fluticasone/salmeterol

of care? (Select all that apply).
A. Perform chest percussion
B. Place the child in an upright position
C. Monitor oxygen saturation
D. Administer bronchodilators
E. Administer dornase alfa daily correct answer: B, C, D
Children who are experiencing an asthma exacerbation have
decreased oxygenation. Place the child in an upright position to
promote ventilation. Monitor oxygen saturation to detect
changes in the child's condition. They also experience
bronchoconstriction, so give a bronchodilator.
This rationale was great. Suuuuuper worth my time to write it
out...

B. Suction the nasopharynx as needed.
C. Withhold fluids until the client demonstrates a gag reflex.

fluids.
A nurse is caring for a toddler who has acute
laryngotracheobronchitis and has been placed in a cool mist tent.
Which of the following findings indicates that the treatment has
been effective?
A. Barking cough
B. Improved hydration
C. Decreased stridor
D. Decreased temperature correct answer: C
Laryngotracheobronchitis, or croup, is a condition caused by an
infection of the upper airway
(larynx, trachea, and bronchus) and is characterized by a barking
cough. Edema and obstruction in the upper airways cause the
