A nurse is contributing to a plan of care for a 24-month-old toddler. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Rationale:

A) Maintaining clean technique during dressing changes is essential for preventing infection but is not specific to pain management.

B) Providing low-calorie snacks is unrelated to managing moderate partial-thickness burns.

C) Allowing the child to set their own schedule for wound care might not be appropriate or safe, as wound care should be performed according to healthcare provider recommendations.

D) Ensuring the child receives pain medication prior to therapy helps manage pain associated with dressing changes and other therapeutic interventions.

Rationale:

A) Peanut butter is not a rapidly absorbed source of glucose and may not be appropriate for treating hypoglycemia.

B) While rechecking the child's blood glucose level is important, immediate treatment should be initiated for symptomatic hypoglycemia.

C) Administering a rapidly absorbed source of sugar, such as 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey, is the priority intervention for treating hypoglycemia in a conscious child.

D) Documenting the incident is important but should not delay the administration of treatment for hypoglycemia.
