Choice A rationale

Keeping the infant home from daycare for the next two days after vaccination is not necessary unless the child is showing signs of serious side effects, which are rare. Most vaccines have mild side effects such as soreness at the injection site or a mild fever, which should not interfere with the child’s daily activities.

Choice B rationale

Applying a cool, damp cloth or a cool pack to the injection site can help reduce redness, soreness, and/or swelling. This is a common practice recommended by healthcare professionals to alleviate discomfort after vaccination.

Choice C rationale

It is not recommended to administer aspirin to children due to the risk of Reye’s syndrome, a rare but serious condition that can affect the liver and brain. Instead, if the child is uncomfortable or has a fever, parents can consult with a healthcare provider about giving a non-aspirin pain reliever.

Choice D rationale

While any level of fever after vaccination should be monitored, it is not always serious and should not cause panic. Fevers are a common side effect of vaccinations and are usually a sign that the body is building protection against the virus or bacteria in the vaccine. However, if a high fever persists or the child shows signs of an allergic reaction, parents should contact a healthcare provider immediately.

E.

Choice A rationale

Removing resuscitation equipment from the room is a standard practice before allowing family members to view the body after an unsuccessful resuscitation. This helps to create a more peaceful and less distressing environment for the family. It also respects the dignity of the deceased and allows the family to focus on their loved one, rather than the medical interventions that were attempted.

Choice B rationale

Placing a small pillow under the head is a common practice in preparing the body for viewing by the family. This helps to position the body in a natural and peaceful manner, which can be comforting for the family. It also respects the dignity of the deceased.

Choice E rationale

Gently closing the eyes is another common practice in preparing the body for viewing by the family. This helps to give the appearance of peaceful rest, which can be comforting for the family. It also respects the dignity of the deceased.

Choice C rationale

Taking out dentures and placing them in a labeled cup is not a standard practice in preparing the body for viewing by the family. Dentures, if present, are usually left in place to maintain the natural appearance of the face.

Choice D rationale

Applying a body shroud is not a common practice in preparing the body for viewing by the family. The use of a body shroud may vary based on cultural or religious preferences, but it is not a standard procedure in many healthcare settings.
