Correct Answer : A,D,E
A. The incident should have no impact on the child's intelligence, memory, or behavior:
Febrile seizures are benign and typically do not cause long-term neurological problems.
B. The child will need antiepileptic therapy for at least one year:
Febrile seizures are usually self-limiting and do not require long-term antiepileptic therapy unless seizures are complex or recurrent without fever.
C. They should purchase a bite block for use at home:
Bite blocks should never be used during a seizure because they can cause injury or choking.
D. If a seizure occurs again at home, the child should be placed on their side:
Placing the child on their side helps maintain an open airway and reduces the risk of aspiration.
E. There is a chance that this will recur during a febrile illness:
Febrile seizures can recur, especially if the child has another fever in the future.
F. Antipyretic therapy during febrile illnesses will prevent this from occurring again:
Antipyretics can make the child more comfortable but do not prevent febrile seizures.

Correct Answer is B
Explanation
A. Give the infant liquids using a small spoon with a long handle:
Post-op, feeding should avoid utensils or anything that could injure the surgical site. Specialized nipples are often used.
B. Apply elbow restraints to the infant.
Elbow restraints prevent the infant from touching or damaging the surgical site, promoting healing.
C. Gently check the infant's suture line using a padded tongue depressor:
Directly touching the suture line can damage the repair and should be avoided unless specifically ordered.
D. Place the infant in a supine position:
After cleft palate repair, positioning should promote airway protection (often side-lying or upright, not flat on the back).
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A. Sharp pain in middle of the chest:
Chest pain can occur in multiple transfusion reactions, including hemolytic reactions—not specific to air embolism alone.
B. Severe itching of the hands:
Itching is a sign of an allergic reaction, not air embolism.
C. Distended neck veins
Distended neck veins, dyspnea, and chest pain are signs of an air embolism, a life-threatening emergency.
D. Decreased temperature:
Hypothermia is not a sign of air embolism. Blood products can sometimes lower body temperature, but that is unrelated to embolism.
