A nurse is caring for a child during a tonic-clonic seizure. Which of the following actions should the nurse take? (Select all that apply)

Choice A reason: Administering the varicella vaccine to a child with leukemia and a low neutrophil count is not recommended because live vaccines are contraindicated due to the child's compromised immune system.

Choice B reason: Increasing the child's intake of fresh fruit is not advisable in this case because fresh fruits may carry bacteria that can cause infection in a child with a low neutrophil count.

Choice C reason: Avoiding rectal temperature measurements is important to prevent potential injury and infection in a child with a low neutrophil count, as their immune system is weakened.

Choice D reason: Restricting bathing to every other day is not necessary unless the child's skin is extremely sensitive due to chemotherapy. Regular bathing helps maintain hygiene and comfort.

Choice A reason: Preparing to administer a potassium IV bolus is not typically indicated in sickle cell crisis unless there is a documented potassium deficiency. Potassium levels must be carefully monitored to avoid hyperkalemia.

Choice B reason: Providing hydration both orally and intravenously is crucial in managing sickle cell crisis. Hydration helps to reduce blood viscosity and improve circulation, which can alleviate the pain and prevent further sickling of red blood cells.

Choice C reason: Requesting a prescription for meperidine is not recommended for pain management in sickle cell crisis due to the risk of seizures and other side effects. Other pain medications, such as morphine, are preferred.

Choice D reason: Administering multiple units of platelets is not a standard treatment for sickle cell crisis. Platelet transfusion is typically reserved for patients with thrombocytopenia or active bleeding, not for sickle cell crisis.
