Which immunization will the nurse teach to the mothers that can assist in preventing the life-threatening disease epiglottitis?

Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR)

Diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (DTaP)

Hepatitis B

Hemophilus influenzae type B (Hib)

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

a) Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR): Does not directly protect against epiglottitis.

b) Diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (DTaP): While important for other diseases, does not directly prevent epiglottitis.

c) Hepatitis B: Provides immunity against hepatitis B, not epiglottitis.

d) Hemophilus influenzae type B (Hib): The Hib vaccine specifically targets Haemophilus influenzae type B bacteria, which is the main cause of epiglottitis. Immunization with the Hib vaccine has dramatically reduced the incidence of epiglottitis and other serious infections caused by Hib.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

a) Risk for aspiration related to regurgitation: With esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula, the risk of aspiration due to the abnormal connection between the trachea and esophagus is a significant concern. Preventing aspiration is a priority.

b) Acute pain related to esophageal defect: Pain might be present but managing the risk of aspiration is more immediate.

c) Ineffective tissue perfusion gastrointestinal related to decreased circulation: While important, preventing aspiration takes precedence.

d) Ineffective feeding pattern related to uncoordinated suck and swallow: A valid concern but not as critical as the risk of aspiration.

Correct Answer is {"dropdown-group-1":"C"}

Explanation

Coarctation of the aorta
Explanation: This condition involves a narrowing of the aorta, typically occurring just after the left subclavian artery. It causes higher blood pressure in the arms and lower blood pressure in the legs due to the obstruction of blood flow.
Patent ductus arteriosus
Explanation: This is a condition where the ductus arteriosus, a blood vessel in the fetal heart, does not close after birth. It usually causes increased blood flow to the lungs rather than a discrepancy between upper and lower body blood pressures.
Tetralogy of Fallot
Explanation: This congenital heart defect consists of four heart abnormalities. While it affects blood flow and oxygen levels, it does not typically cause a significant difference in blood pressure between the arms and legs.
Transposition of the great arteries
Explanation: This condition involves the aorta and pulmonary artery being switched. It leads to severe oxygenation issues but does not usually result in a notable difference in blood pressure readings between the arms and legs.
