A nurse is assisting a client who has irritable bowel syndrome with meal selections.

Which of the following foods should the nurse remind the client to include in her diet?

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a sexually transmitted infection that is reportable to public health authorities due to its potential for spreading rapidly within a population and its significant public health implications. Reporting cases of Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection allows for appropriate monitoring, treatment, and control measures to be implemented to prevent further transmission and protect public health.

Sarcoptes scabiei, which causes scabies, is a contagious skin infestation but is not typically a reportable condition to the state health department.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common sexually transmitted infection, but it is not generally reportable unless it is associated with certain high-risk strains and leads to specific conditions such as cervical cancer.

Impetigo contagiosa, a bacterial skin infection, is not usually a reportable condition unless there is an outbreak or unusual circumstances warranting public health intervention.

Allowing the toddler to explore and handle the equipment, such as a stethoscope or blood pressure cuff, can help familiarize them with the objects and reduce anxiety. It can be done under the supervision of the nurse to ensure safety.

Starting the examination with routine immunizations can be helpful because it allows the child to get through potentially uncomfortable or distressing procedures early on. It can also create a positive association between the examination and a sense of relief after receiving vaccinations. While it is important to provide age-appropriate explanations to the toddler, it's essential to keep the explanations simple and concise. Using child-friendly language and demonstrating the procedure using dolls or toys can help the toddler understand what will happen during the examination.

Instead of completely undressing the toddler, it is generally more comfortable and less distressing to only partially undress them. For example, the nurse can ask the caregiver to remove the toddler's shirt while leaving the pants on. This approach helps maintain the child's sense of security and provides a level of modesty.
