Click to mark whether the following are signs and symptoms of cerebral edema, respiratory distress, or both.

A. Irrigating the infected area with a medicated solution is not appropriate for nystatin suspension, which should be applied directly to the infected area. Additionally, sterile gloves are not required for this procedure.
B. Drawing up the medication in a needle-less syringe for the infant to suck is not an effective method for nystatin administration. The medication must be applied directly to the infected area to be effective.
C. Using a gloved finger to rub the suspension over the infected area is the correct method for applying nystatin. This direct application ensures that the medication comes into contact with the infection and is most effective for treating oral candida.
D. Measuring the medication into the infant’s bottle does not ensure that the nystatin is applied to the infected area and may result in the medication being swallowed rather than effectively treating the candida infection.

A. Sliding hands under the lumbar area and knees can cause strain on the PN’s back and is not the safest method for turning a dependent client.
B. Using a turning sheet to turn the client away from the PN is the safest method for moving a dependent client, as it uses a proper technique that minimizes injury risk for both the client and the PN.
C. Raising bed rails on the opposite side may increase the risk of injury or falls, and is not directly related to the safe turning of the client.
D. Grasping the client's hand to pull them is unsafe and could cause injury or discomfort to both the client and the PN, especially when turning a dependent client.
