A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a parent of a child who has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching to promote the child's learning?

Choice A rationale:
Pain following range-of-motion exercises is a significant finding that should be reported to the provider. It could indicate the possibility of complications, such as further injury or impaired healing. Adolescents with fractured bones are often encouraged to perform range-of-motion exercises to prevent stiffness and promote circulation. However, increased pain during or after these exercises could indicate problems like muscle strain or improper alignment of the fracture, which need to be addressed promptly.
Choice B rationale:
Pruritus (itching) under the cast is common and can be expected due to the accumulation of dead skin cells and sweat. While it can be uncomfortable for the client, it's not an urgent concern that requires immediate reporting to the provider. Strategies to alleviate itching, such as using a cool blow dryer under the cast, can be taught to the client.
Choice C rationale:
The presence of swelling while the extremity is dependent is a normal response to gravity and is not an alarming finding. Swelling when the extremity is dependent is expected, especially within the initial stages of fracture healing. It suggests that the blood supply is reaching the area for healing purposes. Elevation and rest can help reduce the swelling.
Choice D rationale:
Coolness of the toes could be due to reduced blood flow, but this finding alone may not be an immediate concern. It's essential to consider the client's overall circulation, capillary refill, and presence of pulses. If other signs of impaired circulation, such as pallor or delayed capillary refill, are present along with coolness, it might indicate compromised vascular supply. However, based on the information provided, this choice is not as urgent as reporting pain following range-of-motion exercises.

Choice A rationale:
Correct Choice. Current pregnancy is a contraindication to administering the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. The MMR vaccine contains live attenuated viruses, and it is generally contraindicated during pregnancy due to the potential risk to the developing fetus. Pregnant individuals should wait until after giving birth to receive the MMR vaccine.
Choice B rationale:
Mild ear infection is not a contraindication to administering the MMR vaccine. Mild illnesses, such as mild upper respiratory infections or low-grade fevers, are not typically considered contraindications for vaccination. In fact, immunization might be recommended in these cases to ensure protection against preventable diseases.
Choice C rationale:
A family history of seizures is not a contraindication to administering the MMR vaccine. Seizures are not known to be associated with the MMR vaccine. Therefore, a family history of seizures would not preclude an individual from receiving the vaccine.
Choice D rationale:
Severe peanut allergy is not a contraindication to administering the MMR vaccine. Allergies, including severe peanut allergies, are not considered contraindications for the MMR vaccine. Only individuals with a known severe anaphylactic allergy to a vaccine component (such as gelatin or neomycin) would have a contraindication to receiving the vaccine.
