The mother of an infant who was diagnosed with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) yesterday calls the clinic to inquire if it will be all right to take her infant to the first birthday party of a friend's child the following day. Which response should the practical nurse (PN) provide this mother?
The child will no longer be contagious, no need to take any further precautions.
Make sure there are no children under the age of 6 months around the infected child.
The child can be around other children but should wear a mask at all times.
Do not expose other children as the virus is very contagious even without direct oral contact.
The Correct Answer is D
A. The child will no longer be contagious, no need to take any further precautions:
RSV remains contagious for days to weeks after symptoms begin.
B. Make sure there are no children under the age of 6 months around the infected child:
Although infants are more vulnerable, all children are at risk - restriction should apply to everyone.
C. The child can be around other children but should wear a mask at all times:
Masks are not fully effective in preventing RSV spread, especially in very young children.
D. Do not expose other children as the virus is very contagious even without direct oral contact:
RSV spreads through respiratory droplets and contaminated surfaces.
