    Study Notes

    Pediatric Health and Diseases

    • Pinworms are most commonly spread through direct contact with an infected person or contaminated surfaces.
    • Rheumatic fever is not contagious, but it is triggered by a group A streptococcal infection.

    Dehydration and Dehydration Assessment

    • When assessing a client with suspected dehydration, report immediately if the following conditions are found: dry mucous membranes, absence of tears, decreased urine output, and deep or rapid breathing.
    • In dehydration, capillary refill is more than 2 seconds.

    Child Abuse and Neglect

    • If the injuries do not match the story told by the parents, it is suspected child abuse and must be reported.

    Rheumatic Fever and Prevention

    • The best response from the nurse to the parents of a child with rheumatic fever who express concern about their other children developing the disease is to reassure them that the disease is not contagious, but it can be triggered by a group A streptococcal infection.

    Cow's Milk Sensitivity and Breastfeeding

    • The most appropriate recommendation for a breastfeeding mother of a 1-month-old diagnosed with cow's milk sensitivity is to eliminate cow's milk from her diet for 2-4 weeks.

    Gastroenteritis and Dehydration Prevention

    • To prevent further dehydration in a 13-month-old client with gastroenteritis, offer an oral rehydration solution, such as Pedialyte.

    Insulin-Dependent Diabetes

    • The information about the relationship between exercise, diet, and insulin that should be included in the teaching plan for an adolescent with insulin-dependent diabetes is that exercise affects blood sugar levels, and diet and insulin regulation are crucial to maintain optimal blood sugar levels.

    Tracheoesophageal Fistula (TEF) and Positioning

    • The most effective positioning for a neonate with TEF is prone with the head and shoulders elevated to reduce cardiac workload.

    Benign Febrile Seizures

    • The most important information for the nurse to give the parents of a 2-year-old child diagnosed with benign febrile seizures is that the seizures are not a sign of a serious underlying condition, but it is crucial to monitor the child's temperature and provide hydration.

    Cystic Fibrosis and Diet

    • The nurse should request a high-calorie, high-fat diet for a child with cystic fibrosis.

    Muscular Dystrophy and Pneumonia

    • The nurse should prioritize the need for good hand hygiene as a teaching topic for the 17-year-old client with a history of muscular dystrophy and recurrent pneumonia.

    Acute Rheumatic Fever and Assessment

    • The nurse should assess the 14-year-old client with acute rheumatic fever for joint pain, swollen joints, and fever.
