The nurse is planning care for a child who has tinea pedis. Which action should the nurse include in the plan of care?

Treat infected house pets

Use moist, warm compresses

Use selenium sulfide shampoo

Apply a topical antifungal cream

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

A. Treating infected pets is important in other fungal infections like tinea corporis (ringworm), but not specifically for tinea pedis (athlete’s foot), which is usually contracted from damp surfaces.
B. Moist, warm compresses create an environment that promotes fungal growth and would worsen the infection.
C. Selenium sulfide shampoo is used for tinea capitis (fungal infection of the scalp), not for tinea pedis.
D. Tinea pedis is best managed with topical antifungal creams or powders, such as clotrimazole or terbinafine. These reduce fungal growth, relieve itching, and promote healing.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Hematocrit 38.2% is within the normal range and does not require urgent reporting.

B. Elevated hemoglobin (18.0 g/dL) may indicate hemoconcentration but is not the priority compared to severe anemia.

C. Elevated WBC (17,000) suggests infection or inflammation (common in diverticulitis) but is not immediately life-threatening.

D. A hemoglobin of 6.2 g/dL indicates severe anemia, which can lead to hypoxia, shock, and organ failure. This finding, along with tachycardia and low oxygen saturation, makes it the priority to report for urgent intervention (likely transfusion).

A. "Has anyone in your family had syncope?" B. "Have you been sexually active in the last year?" C. "Have you been sick within the last 10 days?" D. "Have you had low blood pressure the last week?"

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. A family history of syncope is not a risk factor for acute glomerulonephritis.
B. Sexual activity is not a common contributing factor to glomerulonephritis.
C. Acute glomerulonephritis often develops 1–2 weeks after a streptococcal infection such as strep throat or impetigo. Asking about recent illness helps determine if a prior infection contributed to the condition.
D. Low blood pressure is not typically associated with glomerulonephritis; in fact, hypertension is more common due to fluid retention.
