A nurse is collecting data from a child who has pertussis.
Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?

Choice A rationale:

Facial erythema (redness of the face) is not a typical manifestation of pertussis (whooping cough) Pertussis primarily presents with a severe cough, often followed by a "whooping" sound during inhalation, and can cause complications like pneumonia and apnea. Facial erythema is not a characteristic sign of the disease.

Choice B rationale:

A beefy, red tongue is not a common manifestation of pertussis. This description is more suggestive of other conditions, such as vitamin deficiencies or certain infections. Pertussis primarily involves respiratory symptoms, and a red tongue is not a typical finding associated with the disease.

Choice C rationale:

Fever is a common manifestation of pertussis, and it is often one of the early symptoms. However, it is not the most specific sign of the disease, as many other infections can also cause fever. While fever can occur in pertussis, it is not the most distinctive feature of the condition.

Choice D rationale:

Koplik spots are not associated with pertussis but rather with measles (rubeola) Koplik spots are small white or grayish-blue spots with a red halo that appear on the mucous membranes inside the cheeks and are characteristic of measles. Pertussis is primarily known for its characteristic cough and paroxysms of coughing, not for Koplik spots.

Choice A rationale:

A pulled-pork sandwich is not appropriate for a client following a kosher diet, as pork is not considered kosher due to dietary restrictions in Jewish dietary law (kashrut)

Choice B rationale:

Shrimp salad is not suitable for a client following a kosher diet, as shellfish is not considered kosher according to Jewish dietary laws.

Choice C rationale:

Roasted salmon is an appropriate choice for a client following a kosher diet, as salmon is typically considered kosher, provided it has been prepared and cooked according to kosher guidelines.

Choice D rationale:

Clam chowder is not appropriate for a client following a kosher diet, as it contains shellfish (clams), which is not considered kosher in Jewish dietary law.
