A nurse is preparing to administer required immunizations to a toddler during a well-child visit. The parent asks the nurse how many baby aspirins he should administer if the toddler develops a fever.

Which of the following responses should the nurse make?

"You should follow the label directions based on your child's weight."

"You should avoid administering aspirin to your child."

"Your child will require an antibiotic if she develops a fever."

"Your child can have two baby aspirins every 4 hours."

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

A.   "You should follow the label directions based on your child's weight." While dosing according to weight is a common practice for many medications, it's essential to emphasize the importance of avoiding aspirin in children due to the risk of Reye's syndrome, a rare but serious condition associated with aspirin use in viral illnesses.
B.   "You should avoid administering aspirin to your child." This response is correct because the use of aspirin in children, especially during viral infections, can increase the risk of Reye's syndrome, a severe condition that affects the brain and liver.
C.   "Your child will require an antibiotic if she develops a fever." Antibiotics are not typically

indicated for fever unless the fever is caused by a bacterial infection. It's important to address the parent's question about managing fever specifically.
D. "Your child can have two baby aspirins every 4 hours." This response is incorrect and potentially harmful. Aspirin should not be given to children due to the risk of Reye's syndrome.
