The recommended method of screening for overweight in children and adolescents is measuring the child's:

Choice A reason: This statement is incorrect, as maceration is not a clinical manifestation of scabies, but a condition of softening and breaking down of the skin due to prolonged exposure to moisture. Maceration can occur in areas where the skin folds or rubs together, such as the groin, armpits, or under the breasts.

Choice B reason: This statement is incorrect, as edema is not a clinical manifestation of scabies, but a condition of swelling due to excess fluid accumulation in the tissues. Edema can occur in various parts of the body, such as the legs, feet, hands, or face, due to various causes, such as heart failure, kidney disease, or allergic reactions.

Choice C reason: This statement is correct, as itching is the primary clinical manifestation of scabies, a contagious skin infection caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei. The mite burrows into the skin and lays eggs, causing an intense inflammatory response and pruritus. The itching is usually worse at night and affects the areas between the fingers, wrists, elbows, armpits, waist, buttocks, and genitals.

Choice D reason: This statement is incorrect, as severe pain is not a clinical manifestation of scabies, but a subjective sensation of physical discomfort or distress. Pain can occur in various parts of the body due to various causes, such as injury, inflammation, infection, or disease. Pain can be acute or chronic, and can be rated on a scale of 0 to 10.

Choice A reason: This statement is correct, as breastfeeding is the best source of nutrition and hydration for infants with diarrhea, as it provides antibodies, electrolytes, and fluids. The nurse should encourage the mother to continue breastfeeding per routine, or to offer expressed breast milk if the infant is too weak or fussy to nurse.

Choice B reason: This statement is incorrect, as Imodium is not recommended for infants with diarrhea, as it can cause serious side effects, such as ileus, toxic megacolon, or central nervous system depression. The nurse should advise the parents to avoid giving any anti-diarrheal medications to the infant, unless prescribed by the doctor.

Choice C reason: This statement is incorrect, as Kaopectate is not recommended for infants with diarrhea, as it contains bismuth subsalicylate, which can cause Reye syndrome, a rare but serious condition that affects the liver and brain. The nurse should advise the parents to avoid giving any anti-diarrheal medications to the infant, unless prescribed by the doctor.

Choice D reason: This statement is incorrect, as returning to daycare 24 hours after antibiotics have been started is not appropriate for infants with diarrhea secondary to rotavirus, as antibiotics are not effective against viral infections, and the infant may still be contagious and infect other children. The nurse should instruct the parents to keep the infant at home until the diarrhea has resolved, and to practice good hand hygiene and sanitation to prevent the spread of the infection.
