A nurse is assessing a toddler who has a history of lead poisoning. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A. This is the correct statement. Children with HIV are at increased risk for tuberculosis (TB) infection. Therefore, regular testing for TB is an important part of their healthcare.

B. Doubling medications without specific guidance from the healthcare provider can be dangerous and is not recommended. It's important for the parent to follow the prescribed medication regimen as directed.

C. While zidovudine (AZT) is an important medication for HIV treatment, the statement is not accurate. The risk of transmission does not decrease after only 2 weeks of
treatment. It takes longer for the viral load to decrease significantly.

D. Children with HIV do not necessarily need to repeat their childhood immunizations once they are in remission. However, the timing and need for vaccinations may be
individualized based on the child's specific circumstances and immune status. This statement does not demonstrate a clear understanding of the teaching.

A. "Your child's feet should be 3 to 6 inches off the ground when seated on the bicycle." This instruction is not related to safety. Proper seat height is important for comfort and efficiency but does not directly impact safety.

B. This is the correct instruction. Maintaining a distance of at least 3 feet from the curb while riding in the street allows space for maneuvering and helps prevent collisions with obstacles or parked cars.

C. "Your child should walk the bicycle through intersections." This is a good safety practice. Walking the bicycle through intersections reduces the risk of accidents with other vehicles.

D. "Your child should ride the bicycle against the flow of traffic." This is incorrect.
Children should ride their bicycles in the same direction as traffic. Riding against traffic increases the risk of accidents.
