A nurse caring for a child who has asthma and a prescription for montelukast granules. Which of the following instructions should the nurse provide to the client's parents on administering the medication?

Give the medication in the morning daily.

Administer the medication 2 hours before exercise

Administer the granules mixed with 20 ounces of water

Give the medication at the onset of wheezing

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

A. Give the medication in the morning daily. Montelukast (a leukotriene receptor antagonist) is given once daily in the evening for long-term asthma control. If prescribed for allergic rhinitis, it can be given in the morning.

B. Administer the medication 2 hours before exercise. Montelukast is not a rescue medication but a maintenance drug. However, it can be prescribed for exercise-induced bronchospasm and is taken at least 2 hours before exercise when used for that purpose.

C. Administer the granules mixed with 20 ounces of water. Montelukast granules should be mixed with a small amount of soft food (e.g., applesauce, mashed carrots) or breast milk/formula but not a large volume of liquid.

D. Give the medication at the onset of wheezing. Montelukast is not a quick-relief medication and does not work immediately. Short-acting bronchodilators (e.g., albuterol) should be used for acute wheezing.

Correct Answer is ["37"]

Explanation

98.6 - 32) × 5/9 = 37°C
Answer: 37°C

A. Primary Intention B. Partial-thickness repair C. Secondary Intention D. Tertiary intention

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Primary Intention: Primary intention healing occurs when surgical incisions are closed with sutures, staples, or adhesive strips. Since laparoscopic procedures involve small incisions that are closed immediately, this type of healing applies.

B. Partial-thickness repair: Partial-thickness repair refers to wounds that involve only the epidermis and part of the dermis (e.g., abrasions, minor burns). Surgical incisions are full-thickness wounds, so this is not applicable.

C. Secondary Intention: Secondary intention healing occurs when wounds heal from the inside out, typically seen in pressure ulcers, large open wounds, or infected wounds. Surgical wounds that are sutured do not heal by secondary intention.

D. Tertiary Intention: Tertiary intention healing occurs when a wound is left open initially and later closed due to infection risk or delayed healing. Laparoscopic appendectomy wounds are closed immediately, making this choice incorrect.
