A pediatric nurse is calculating a child's medication dosage. The child weighs 30 kilograms and the prescribed dosage is 0.2 milligrams per kilogram. How many milligrams of medication should the nurse administer to the child?

A. Implement a fluid restriction during times of infection: This is not a recommended practice for cystic fibrosis. In fact, cystic fibrosis patients often need increased fluid intake, especially during infection, to help thin mucus secretions and stay hydrated.

B. Provide a low-calorie, low-protein diet: This is incorrect. Children with cystic fibrosis typically have a high-calorie, high-protein diet to support growth and energy expenditure, as they have trouble absorbing nutrients.

C. Restrict physical activities: This is not correct. Children with cystic fibrosis should engage in physical activity to help with lung function and overall health. Physical activity should not be restricted unless there are specific complications.

D. Administer pancreatic enzymes with meals and snacks: This is correct. Children with cystic fibrosis often have pancreatic insufficiency and need to take pancreatic enzymes with meals and snacks to help digest food and absorb nutrients.

A. Hoarseness: Hoarseness is a common symptom of croup and is usually not an immediate concern unless accompanied by other severe symptoms.

B. Barky cough: A barky cough is characteristic of croup and is not an indication of immediate concern unless it worsens.

C. Drooling: Drooling can be a sign of respiratory distress and difficulty swallowing, which can indicate a worsening condition such as epiglottitis, a more serious infection that can occur with croup. Drooling is a red flag and requires immediate medical attention.

D. Paroxysmal attacks of laryngeal spasm at night: Paroxysmal attacks (episodes of severe coughing or difficulty breathing) are typical of croup, especially at night, but are usually self-limited and not an immediate cause for concern unless severe.
