A nurse is providing teaching to the parents of a toddler who has iron-deficiency anemia and is taking iron supplements. Which statement by the parents indicates an understanding of the teaching?

"Restricting fiber from our child's diet will help absorption of the iron."

“The medication may cause blood in the stools."

"Our child's blood count will need to be monitored routinely for several weeks."

"The medication will be more effective if it is administered with meals."

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

A. Restricting fiber is not necessary; instead, administering vitamin C with iron can enhance absorption.

B. Iron supplements can cause dark stools, but not blood in the stools. Blood in the stools requires further investigation.

C. Routine monitoring of blood counts is crucial to assess the effectiveness of the iron supplementation and to adjust the dosage as needed.

D. Iron supplements are better absorbed on an empty stomach; taking them with meals can reduce their absorption.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. A child recovering from nasopharyngitis could still be contagious, and since children with leukemia have compromised immune systems, they are at higher risk of infections.

B. A child with nephrotic syndrome, although potentially needing special care, does not pose the same infection risk as a child recovering from an infectious disease. Therefore, they are a more suitable roommate for a child with leukemia.

C. A child with gastroenteritis may still be infectious and could expose the child with leukemia to gastrointestinal pathogens.

D. A child with rheumatic fever does not have a contagious illness, but the specific needs of the child with leukemia and the potential for complications from infections make it less ideal compared to a non-infectious condition like nephrotic syndrome.

A. Wash off the barrier cream with each diaper change. B. Cloth diapers are recommended to manage this disorder. C. Apply a light layer of talcum powder with each diaper change. D. Expose the excoriated area to air frequently.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Barrier creams should not be washed off with each diaper change; they should be left intact to protect the skin.

B. Cloth diapers can sometimes exacerbate diaper dermatitis due to moisture retention; disposable diapers may be better at wicking moisture away from the skin.

C. Talcum powder is not recommended due to the risk of inhalation, which can cause respiratory issues in infants.

D. Exposing the excoriated area to air frequently allows the skin to dry out, reducing moisture and irritation, which is beneficial in managing diaper dermatitis.
