A nurse is caring for a 7-year-old client who has an upper respiratory infection and a history of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Which of the following statements by the mother indicates a need for further instruction?

A. Wash bed linens in cold water. Washing bed linens in cold water is ineffective for killing pinworm eggs. Hot water should be used to properly sanitize linens and kill the eggs.
B. Clean the bathroom with bleach solution. While cleaning the bathroom with bleach can help reduce contamination, it is not a primary or effective measure for preventing pinworm spread and reinfection in a household setting.
C. Keep children's nails short. Keeping nails short reduces the likelihood of the child scratching the perianal area, where pinworm eggs are deposited, and then ingesting the eggs through hand-to-mouth contact. This helps prevent the spread and reinfection of pinworms.
D. Dress child in loose-fitting underwear. Loose-fitting underwear does not specifically help in preventing the spread or reinfection of pinworms. Tight-fitting underwear may actually be better to prevent the spread of eggs to other surfaces.

A. Require that the child have antibiotic coverage. This answer is incorrect because immunizations do not typically require antibiotic coverage.
B. Should be delayed. Prednisone can suppress the immune response, potentially reducing the effectiveness of vaccines. Therefore, immunizations should be delayed until the child has completed the course of prednisone and their immune system has recovered.
C. Can interfere with the treatment for nephrosis. While prednisone can be part of nephrotic syndrome treatment, immunizations are not known to interfere directly with this treatment.
D. Can be given in smaller, divided doses. This answer is incorrect because the issue isn't about the size or frequency of the vaccine doses but rather about the timing relative to the child's immunosuppressive treatment.
