A nurse in a post anesthesia care unit is caring for a client who is recovering from general anesthesia and is experiencing malignant hyperthermia. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A) Rotating the earmold forward when inserting the hearing aid is a correct technique. This ensures a proper fit and helps to position the hearing aid comfortably in the ear canal, which can enhance the effectiveness and comfort of the device.

B) Cleaning the hearing aid with alcohol swabs can damage the delicate components of the device. Instead, hearing aids should be cleaned with a dry cloth or a soft brush specifically designed for this purpose to avoid damaging the hearing aid.

C) Turning the hearing aid on before inserting it may result in feedback or a whistling sound. It's usually recommended to insert the hearing aid first and then turn it on to avoid any discomfort or unwanted noise.

D) If the hearing aid whistles, it is not typically related to the battery. Whistling is often caused by improper fit, earwax buildup, or feedback issues. Changing the battery is unlikely to resolve the whistling problem and is not the recommended solution.

A) "I will offer my child apple juice instead of milk.": Offering apple juice instead of milk is not ideal for a toddler with failure to thrive. Milk is a better source of essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D, which are important for growth and development. Juice can contribute to empty calories and should be limited.

B) "I should continue to feed my child when he pushes food out with his tongue.": This statement indicates an understanding of the importance of addressing feeding difficulties. In toddlers with Down syndrome, it is common to experience difficulties with feeding and swallowing. Continuing to offer food and using techniques to encourage eating, even when the child initially pushes food out, can help ensure adequate nutritional intake and support growth.

C) "I will provide his favorite food as a reward for good behavior.": Using food as a reward can lead to unhealthy eating habits and an association of food with behavior rather than hunger and nutrition. It’s better to use non-food rewards to encourage positive behavior.

D) "I should increase my child's vitamin A intake by feeding him raw carrot slices.": While vitamin A is important, raw carrots can be difficult for toddlers, especially those with developmental delays or oral-motor difficulties, to chew and swallow. Cooked carrots or other vitamin A-rich foods might be a safer option.
