statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the
teaching? - ...ANSWER..."I should keep my child indoors
when I mow the yard."

Rationale: The nurse should instruct the parent to keep the
preschooler indoors during lawn maintenance or when the
pollen count is increased. Guarding against exposure to
known allergens found outdoors, such as grass, tree, and weed
pollen, will decrease the frequency of the preschooler's
asthma attacks.

A nurse is caring for a preschooler whose father is going
home for a few hours while another relative stays with the
child. Which of the following statements should the nurse

,make to explain to the child when their father will return? -
...ANSWER..."Your daddy will be back after you eat."

Rationale: Preschoolers make sense of time best when they
can associate it with an expected daily routine, such as meals
and bedtime. Therefore, the child comprehends time best
when it is explained to them in relation to an event they are
familiar with, such as eating.

droplet nuclei that are suspended in the air when the child
coughs, sneezes, or talks.

age child who has appendicitis and rates their abdominal pain
as 7 on a scale of 0 to 10. Which of the following actions
should the nurse take? - ...ANSWER...Give morphine

considered severe. The nurse should administer an analgesic
medication for pain relief.

A nurse is caring for an adolescent who received a kidney
transplant. Which of the following findings should the nurse
identify as an indication the adolescent is rejecting the
kidney? - ...ANSWER...Serum creatinine 3.0 mg/dL

,Rationale: Creatinine is a byproduct of protein metabolism

that the adolescent's serum creatinine level is higher than the
expected reference range of 0.4 to 1.0 mg/dL for an
adolescent and can indicate rejection of the kidney.

age child who has celiac disease. The nurse should

white rice to the child because it is a gluten-free food. The
nurse should instruct the parent that the child will remain on a
lifelong gluten-free diet and the child should not consume
oats, rye, barley, or wheat, and sometimes lactose deficiency
can be secondary to this disease.
