Correct Answer is B

Explanation

The nurse should initiate droplet isolation precautions when admitting a child who has acute epiglottitis.

Epiglottitis is commonly caused by Haemophilus influenzae type B and can be transmitted through respiratory droplets.

Choice A is wrong because obtaining a throat culture is not recommended when epiglottitis is suspected, as it can cause further obstruction of the airway.

Choice C is wrong because assisting the child into a supine position can worsen the airway obstruction.

Children with epiglottitis prefer to sit upright with the chin extended and mouth open.

Choice D is wrong because checking oxygen saturation every 4 hours may not be frequent enough for a child with acute epiglottitis who may require continuous monitoring of oxygen saturation.

A. Plan for a 30-minute teaching session about the procedure. B. Demonstrate deep-breathing and counting exercises. C. Use vague language to describe the procedure. D. Explain the procedure to the child when they are in the playroom.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Deep-breathing and counting exercises can help the child relax and cope with anxiety before the procedure.

Choice A is wrong because a 30-minute teaching session may not be necessary or appropriate for a school-age child.

Choice C is wrong because it’s important to use clear and honest language when explaining the procedure to the child.

Choice D is wrong because it’s important to explain the procedure to the child in a calm and quiet environment, not in the playroom.
