The nurse has provided discharge instructions to the parents of a 2-year-old child who underwent an orchiopexy to correct cryptorchidism, which statement by the parents indicates a need for further instruction?

A. "I will limit my child's fluid intake."
Incorrect: Limiting fluid intake is not typically recommended for children with CF. Maintaining hydration is important, especially since individuals with CF may have increased salt losses in sweat.
B. "We will give our child pancreatic enzymes with snacks and meals."
Correct Answer: This response indicates an understanding of the importance of giving pancreatic enzymes to assist with digestion, as individuals with CF often have pancreatic insufficiency. Pancreatic enzymes help in the absorption of nutrients from food.
C. "We will restrict the amount of salt in our child's food."
Incorrect: While it's true that individuals with CF may need to increase their salt intake due to increased salt losses in sweat, this response suggests restricting salt, which is not in line with the nutritional needs of a child with CF.
D. "I will prepare low-fat meals with limited protein for my child."
Incorrect: Children with CF often need a higher calorie intake, including healthy fats and adequate protein. Restricting fat and protein is not in line with the nutritional needs of a child with CF.

A. The child needs to avoid exposure to other illnesses.
Explanation: Children with AIDS have compromised immune systems and are more susceptible to infections. Therefore, it is important to minimize exposure to other illnesses to reduce the risk of infections.
B. Frequent handwashing is important.
Explanation: Good hand hygiene helps prevent the spread of infections. Encouraging frequent handwashing is crucial in the care of a child with AIDS.
C. Clean up body fluid spills with bleach solution (10:1 ratio of water to bleach).
Explanation: Using a bleach solution to clean up body fluid spills helps to disinfect and reduce the risk of transmission of infections. The recommended ratio is 10 parts water to 1 part bleach.
D. Monitor the child's weight.
Explanation: Monitoring the child's weight is important for assessing nutritional status and overall health. Weight loss may indicate underlying health issues that need attention.
E. The child's immunization schedule will need revision.
Explanation: Children with AIDS may have altered immune function, but the need for immunizations is still crucial. However, live vaccines may need to be avoided. The immunization schedule should be discussed and individualized with the healthcare provider.
F. Fever, malaise, fatigue, weight loss, vomiting, and diarrhea are expected to occur and do not require special intervention.
Explanation: While these symptoms may occur, they should not be dismissed without evaluation. Any changes in the child's health, including symptoms such as fever, malaise, fatigue, weight loss, vomiting, and diarrhea, should be reported to the healthcare provider for appropriate assessment and intervention.
