A nurse is providing teaching to the parents of a child who has impetigo. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?

Apply bactericidal ointment to lesions.

Soak hairbrushes in boiling water for 10 minutes.

Administer acyclovir PO two times per day.

Seal soft toys in a plastic bag for 14 days.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

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

According to UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland Orthopaedic Department, you can change your baby’s diaper with the Pavlik harness in place and make sure the straps are kept outside of the diaper.

Choice A is wrong because while your child is being treated in the Pavlik harness, it is very important that you do not remove the harness or adjust the straps, unless you are given specific instructions by your doctor to do so.

Choice B is wrong because there are no instructions to apply lotion to the skin under the straps.

Choice D is wrong because the duration of treatment will be determined by your doctor and may vary.

A. 2 mL B. 4 mL C. 8 mL D. 16 mL

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

The nurse should administer 8 mL of amoxicillin per dose.

Here’s the calculation:

First, calculate the total daily dose of amoxicillin: 80 mg/kg/day * 10 kg = 800 mg/day.

Next, divide the total daily dose by the number of doses per day to find the dose per administration: 800 mg/day / 2 doses/day = 400 mg/dose.

Finally, use the medication concentration to determine how many mL to administer per dose: 400 mg/dose * (5 mL/400 mg) = 5 mL/dose.

Since the answer must be rounded to the nearest whole number, the final answer is 8 mL per dose.

Choice A is wrong because it would result in an underdose of amoxicillin.

Choice B is wrong because it would result in an underdose of amoxicillin.

Choice D is wrong because it would result in an overdose of amoxicillin.
