A nurse is caring for a child who is having difficulty breathing due to an asthma exacerbation. Which of the following areas should the nurse determine if the child is experiencing subcostal retractions? (You will find hot spots to select in the artwork below. Select only the hot corresponds to your answer.)

A. Antimicrobial medication can decrease the severity of symptoms.: Antiviral medications, rather than antimicrobial ones, are used to reduce the severity and duration of herpes zoster (shingles). They work best when started within 72 hours of the rash appearing.

B. Postherpetic nerve pain can occur in older adult clients.: Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a common complication of herpes zoster, especially in older adults. It is characterized by persistent pain in the area where the shingles rash occurred.

C. Lesions often occur inside the oral cavity of clients who have this infection.: Herpes zoster typically causes a painful rash that appears on one side of the body, often in a band or strip, rather than inside the oral cavity. Oral lesions are more characteristic of herpes simplex virus infections.

D. Cellulitis is a common manifestation in clients who have this infection.: Cellulitis is not a typical manifestation of herpes zoster. Herpes zoster is characterized by a vesicular rash and pain along a dermatomal distribution, not by cellulitis.

A) "Clean the canister and cap of the inhaler every 2 weeks": While it's important to keep the inhaler clean, it should be cleaned more frequently than every 2 weeks. Typically, cleaning is recommended at least once a week to prevent medication buildup and ensure proper functioning.

B) "Wait 1 minute between puffs of the inhaler": Waiting 1 minute between puffs allows the medication from the first puff to take effect and opens the airways, making the second puff more effective. This practice helps maximize the medication's absorption and effectiveness.

C) "Tilt your head forward and inhale rapidly while depressing the canister": The correct technique involves tilting the head slightly back, not forward, to open the airways better. Additionally, the client should inhale slowly and deeply, rather than rapidly, to ensure the medication is properly delivered to the lungs.

D) "Place your middle finger at the mouthpiece and your thumb at the top of the inhaler": This description of finger placement is incorrect. The correct technique is to place the thumb at the base of the inhaler and the index and middle fingers on the top of the canister to allow for proper grip and activation of the inhaler.
