Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Reassure the student that it is just a bad cold and will soon pass: This dismisses the symptoms and delays necessary public health intervention.

B. Inform all students, staff, and faculty of a possible measles exposure: Koplik spots (small white spots inside the cheeks) are a classic early sign of measles, which is highly contagious. Prompt notification is needed to prevent an outbreak.

C. Inform all students, staff, and faculty of a possible rubella epidemic: While rubella also causes a rash, it does not present with Koplik spots.

D. Tell the student to take two acetaminophen and drink lots of fluids: Symptomatic relief is important but does not address the risk of measles transmission.

A. Call the local hospital and arrange a referral. B. Attempt communication using an English-Spanish phrase book. C. Emphatically state, "No hablo Español" (I don't speak Spanish). D. Obtain an interpreter to translate.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Call the local hospital and arrange a referral: A referral does not immediately address the family’s communication needs. The nurse should first attempt to provide care with proper interpretation.

B. Attempt communication using an English-Spanish phrase book: A phrase book is inadequate for complex medical discussions and could lead to miscommunication.

C. Emphatically state, "No hablo Español" (I don't speak Spanish): This response is dismissive and does not help the family receive the care they need.

D. Obtain an interpreter to translate: The best practice is to use a professional interpreter to ensure accurate communication and avoid misunderstandings in medical care.
