The nurse is performing the initial assessment of a child newly diagnosed with Kawasaki disease. Which symptoms would the nurse expect to assess with this child?

Choice A reason: Limiting water intake is not recommended as adequate hydration is important, especially when sick.
Choice B reason: Checking blood glucose every 8-12 hours is not frequent enough; it should be monitored more often during illness.
Choice C reason: Drinking juice every hour is not necessary and could lead to hyperglycemia if not balanced with insulin.
Choice D reason: This is the correct choice. It is crucial to continue administering insulin as prescribed to manage blood glucose levels, even if the child is not eating as much.

Choice A reason: Escorting the parents out of the room may increase their anxiety and distress, as they may want to be close to their child during such a critical time.

Choice B reason: Allowing one parent to sit on the bed may interfere with the medical team's efforts and is not typically recommended during active resuscitation.

Choice C reason: Allowing the parents to stay in the room can provide them with some comfort, knowing they are near their child, and may help in the grieving process if the outcome is unfavorable, as long as they do not interfere with the medical procedures.

Choice D reason: Bringing additional family members into the room during resuscitation can create a chaotic environment and may hinder the medical team's ability to work efficiently. It is better to have a controlled number of people in the room.
