What intervention(s) would the nurse caring for a child with infectious meningitis include? (Select all that apply.)

1. This aligns with general guidelines for managing bacterial conjunctivitis, which emphasize the importance of cleanliness and avoiding the sharing of personal items to contain the infection.

A. Bacterial conjunctivitis is highly contagious, and the child should not attend school until they have been on antibiotics for at least 24 hours and their symptoms are improving. Allowing the child to attend school before this time could lead to the spread of the infection to other children.

B. Crusted material around the eye should be gently wiped away using a clean cotton ball soaked in warm water. It's important to start wiping from the inner aspect of the eye and move toward the outer aspect to prevent spreading any infectious material into the eye.

D. Eye medications, especially antibiotics prescribed for bacterial conjunctivitis, should not be saved for future use or shared with others. Each individual should have their own prescribed medication to avoid the risk of improper dosing or spread of infection.

D. The aim is to focus on the child's strengths and abilities while addressing limitations and challenges associated with the condition. This approach emphasizes maximizing the child's potential for development, independence, and participation in daily activities, education, and social interactions, while also providing support and resources to address any limitations or barriers they may encounter.

A. Another goal of treatment and care is to maximize the child's functional abilities by improving muscle control, coordination, and mobility through various therapies, such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. However, this is not the primary goal.

B. Cerebral palsy is a neurological condition caused by damage to the developing brain, often occurring before birth. While efforts to prevent cerebral palsy are important, once the condition has developed, the focus shifts to managing symptoms and optimizing the child's functioning rather than eliminating the cause.

C. Emotional well-being is an important aspect of overall health for children with cerebral palsy but it is not typically the primary goal of care. Emotional disturbances may occur in some children with cerebral palsy due to various factors such as coping with the challenges of the condition, social interactions, or other comorbidities, but the primary focus of the care plan is usually on addressing physical and functional impairments.
