A nurse is discussing coping mechanisms with a parent of a 3-month-old infant. Which of the following therapeutic questions should the nurse ask the parent?
"Are you willing to take new parenting classes?"
"What do you do when your infant is fussy?"
"Does parenting cause you stress?"
"Is it overwhelming when your infant is having a bad day?".
The Correct Answer is B
“What do you do when your infant is fussy?” This question allows the parent to discuss their coping mechanisms and gives the nurse an opportunity to provide guidance and support.
Choice A is not a therapeutic question because it suggests a course of action rather than exploring the parent’s feelings and experiences.
Choice C and D are not therapeutic questions because they are closed-ended and do not encourage the parent to discuss their coping mechanisms.

Correct Answer is A
Explanation
Impetigo is treated with antibiotics, either topical antibiotics (medicine rubbed onto the sores) or oral antibiotics (medicine taken by mouth). A doctor might recommend a topical ointment for only a few sores.
Choice B is wrong because Soak hairbrushes in boiling water for 10 minutes, is not a recommended instruction for the treatment of impetigo.
Choice C is wrong because Administer acyclovir PO two times per day, is not a recommended instruction for the treatment of impetigo as acyclovir is an antiviral medication and impetigo is caused by bacteria.
Choice D is wrong because Seal soft toys in a plastic bag for 14 days, is not a recommended instruction for the treatment of impetigo.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
The correct answer is choice C. Elevate the infant’s head to a 10° angle during feedings.
This position can help prevent milk from coming out of the infant’s nose and reduce the risk of choking.
Choice A is wrong because watery eyes are not an indication to discontinue feeding.
Choice B is wrong because babies with cleft palate should be burped more frequently, but not so often as to interrupt good feeding behaviors.
Choice D is wrong because the amount of formula an infant needs varies and should be determined by a pediatrician.
