A nurse is reviewing the laboratory report of a newly admitted school-age child who has a fever. The nurse should identify which of the following laboratory results is an indication of an infection and should be reported to the charge nurse immediately.

Choice A rationale:
The Rotavirus vaccine is typically administered to infants, usually starting at 2 months of age, to protect against severe diarrhea and vomiting caused by rotavirus infection. However, the child in question is 11 years old, and the rotavirus vaccine is not recommended for administration at this age. The vaccine's protection window is within the infant and early childhood period, and the child would likely have received this vaccine earlier.
Choice B rationale:
Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) Hib vaccine is recommended as a series of doses to protect against Haemophilus influenzae type B infection, which can lead to severe illnesses like meningitis and pneumonia. While the child may have received this vaccine in infancy, a booster dose is often recommended around age 11 to ensure ongoing protection. This choice is correct for the given age group.
Choice C rationale:
Hepatitis A Hepatitis A vaccine is typically administered in two doses, with the first dose given at age 1 and the second dose administered at least 6 months later. The child in question is 11 years old, and assuming the child received the vaccine as per the standard schedule, there would be no need to administer this vaccine again.
Choice D rationale:
Human papillomavirus (HPV) HPV vaccine is recommended for adolescents to protect against several strains of the human papillomavirus that can lead to various cancers later in life. It's usually administered in a series of doses starting around age 11 or 12. However, the prompt states that the child is already up-to-date with current immunizations, and if the child received the HPV vaccine at the appropriate age, there would be no need for another dose at this time.

Choice A rationale:
Administer pain medication. Administering pain medication is important for the preschooler's comfort, but it is not the nurse's priority action in this scenario. The priority is to ensure adequate circulation to the extremities, which can be assessed by checking capillary refill.
Choice B rationale:
Check capillary refill. This is the correct answer because the nurse's priority is to assess the child's circulation and tissue perfusion. In 90-90 traction, there is a risk of impaired circulation to the extremities due to the positioning. Checking capillary refill provides information about the adequacy of blood flow to the capillaries and is crucial for early detection of any circulation problems.

Choice C rationale:
Cleanse and dress the pin sites. While caring for the pin sites is important to prevent infection, it is not the priority action at this moment. Ensuring proper circulation and perfusion takes precedence over pin site care.
Choice D rationale:
Reposition the child every 2 hr. Repositioning the child is important to prevent complications associated with immobility, but it is not the nurse's priority action in this situation. The primary concern is to assess and address any circulation issues.
