,A) Breathing may be irregular and pulse varies with inspiration and expiration.
B) Children may move during assessment requiring a longer listening time.
C) Counting for one minute eliminates mathematical errors.
D) Listening that long allows the nurse to assess lung and heart sounds while
counting. - ANSWER✔✔ A) Breathing may be irregular and pulse varies with
inspiration and expiration.
Rationale: Infant breathing is irregular and the heart rate increases and decreases
with inspiration and expiration. Because of the irregularity, counting for less than
60 seconds and multiplying may result in inaccurate rates.

Infectious Disease
Which laboratory finding is most concerning in the child with sickle cell disease,
who reports that they have recently had a viral illness?
A) Hemoglobin- 8.8 g/dL
B) Reticulocyte Count- 0.3%
C) BUN- 7 mg/dL
D) Urinalysis- bilirubin - ANSWER✔✔ B) Reticulocyte Count- 0.3%
Rationale: patients with sickle cell disease may develop aplastic crisis follow
infection (particularly with Parvovirus), which typically initially presents with a low
reticulocyte count. Without treatment and supportive care, the patient can
, become significantly anemic since the bone marrow ceases RBC production,
which is exacerbated by the hemolytic nature of sickle cell disease. A hemoglobin
of 8.8 may be considered at patient's baseline for children with sickle cell disease.
BUN is normal, and bilirubin present in the urine, while not considered a normal
finding, may occur in patients with more severe sickle cell disease (due to
hemolysis) and is not the most concerning at this time given the reticulocyte
count. Domain: Hematologic Conditions
April, a 12 year old female with sickle cell disease is admitted with a pain crisis.
Your nursing interventions include all of the following except
A) Promoting pain management with ice packs to affected area
B) Administering IV hydration
C) Promoting ambulation
D) Encouraging deep breathing and use of an incentive spirometer - ANSWER✔✔
A) Promoting pain management with icepacks to affected area
Rationale: Ice may promote vaso-occlusion which may exacerbate the sickling
process and worsen the vaso-occlusive crisis. Hydration, ambulation, and
encouraging deep breathing and incentive spirometer use are all appropriate
interventions to maximize patient outcomes and prevent complications including
acute chest syndrome. Domain: Hematologic Conditions

anemia"
B) "I will ensure my child is dressed appropriately when the weather is cool and
they are dried off quickly after getting out of the pool"
