A nurse is planning care for a child who is in the acute stage of nephrotic syndrome. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan of care?

A. Pediculosis capitis, also known as head lice, is transmitted through direct head-to-head contact or by sharing personal items such as hats or combs. It is not transmitted via respiratory droplets, so droplet precautions are not required. Standard precautions for lice, such as treating the infestation and avoiding close contact, are appropriate.
B. Viral conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye, is primarily spread through direct contact with the eye secretions or contaminated objects. While viral conjunctivitis can be spread via contact, it does not require droplet precautions. Instead, proper hand hygiene and contact precautions are important to prevent the spread of the infection.
C. Hepatitis A is transmitted primarily through the fecal-oral route and not through respiratory droplets. Therefore, droplet precautions are not necessary. Standard precautions, including proper hand hygiene and safe food handling, are important for preventing the spread of hepatitis A.
D. Seasonal influenza (flu) is transmitted via respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Droplet precautions are recommended for individuals with influenza to prevent the spread of the virus. This includes wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining distance from others.

A. Receiving IV fluids is important but it doesn't typically put a child at risk for insufficient vascular perfusion unless there are complications like fluid overload or infiltration.
B. A spica cast can restrict movement and potentially impair circulation to the affected limb, increasing the risk of insufficient vascular perfusion.
C. A urinary tract infection primarily affects the urinary system and doesn't directly impact vascular perfusion.
D. Otitis media is an ear infection and does not typically affect vascular perfusion.
