The nurse providing feeding instructions to a family with a newborn with cleft lip and palate will include:

Choice A reason: This statement is correct, as asking about the child's contacts over the last three weeks can help the nurse identify the possible source of infection and the risk of transmission. Rubella is a viral infection that spreads through respiratory droplets or direct contact with an infected person. The incubation period of rubella is 14 to 21 days, meaning that the child could have been exposed to the virus up to three weeks before developing symptoms.

Choice B reason: This statement is incorrect, as asking about the child's immunizations is not the most effective way to determine how the child was exposed to the virus. Although immunization can prevent rubella infection, it is not 100% effective, and some children may still get the disease despite being vaccinated. The nurse should also consider other factors, such as the child's medical history, travel history, and exposure to other people with rash or fever.

Choice C reason: This statement is incorrect, as asking about the medications given to the child is not the most effective way to determine how the child was exposed to the virus. Medications can help relieve the symptoms of rubella, such as fever, rash, or joint pain, but they do not affect the transmission or the course of the infection. The nurse should focus on the epidemiological aspects of the disease, such as the mode of transmission, the incubation period, and the contagious period.

Choice D reason: This statement is incorrect, as asking about the onset of the rash is not the most effective way to determine how the child was exposed to the virus. The rash of rubella usually appears 14 to 17 days after exposure, and lasts for about three days. However, the child can be contagious from seven days before to seven days after the rash appears, meaning that the child could have been exposed to the virus up to four weeks before or after the rash. The nurse should ask about the child's contacts during this period, not just the rash.

Choice A reason: This statement is incorrect, as Airborne Precautions are not indicated for patients with LIP, unless they have other infections that are transmitted by airborne particles, such as tuberculosis, measles, or chickenpox. Airborne Precautions include wearing a respirator or N95 mask when entering the patient's room, placing the patient in a negative-pressure isolation room with the door closed, and limiting the movement of the patient outside the room.

Choice B reason: This statement is incorrect, as LIP is not rarely seen in children with AIDS, but rather one of the most common pulmonary complications of HIV infection in children. LIP affects about 30% to 40% of children with HIV, and is more prevalent in younger children than older children or adults.

Choice C reason: This statement is correct, as LIP is a common AIDS-defining condition in children with HIV. AIDS-defining conditions are illnesses that occur in people with advanced HIV infection and indicate a severe immunosuppression. LIP is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the lungs that causes lymphocytic infiltration of the interstitium and alveoli, leading to respiratory symptoms and impaired gas exchange.

Choice D reason: This statement is incorrect, as antibiotics are not the first-line treatment for LIP, unless there is a bacterial superinfection. Antibiotics do not target the underlying cause of LIP, which is the HIV infection and the associated immune dysfunction. The main treatment for LIP is antiretroviral therapy (ART), which suppresses the viral replication and improves the immune status of the patient. Corticosteroids may also be used to reduce the inflammation and improve the lung function.
