A nurse is collecting data from an infant who has respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

A. Neomycin is not a contraindication to the influenza vaccine. However, if a person has a known neomycin allergy, they should avoid specific vaccines containing neomycin, but this is not typically a concern with the influenza vaccine.

B. Gluten allergies are not a contraindication for the influenza vaccine. Gluten is not an ingredient in most influenza vaccines, so a gluten allergy would not impact vaccine administration.

C. The influenza vaccine contains trace amounts of egg proteins, and individuals who have had a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) to eggs should not receive this vaccine, or they should receive it under close supervision with appropriate precautions. This is because egg-based production methods of the vaccine may pose a risk.

D. Gelatin is a common ingredient in some vaccines, but a gelatin allergy is not typically a contraindication for the influenza vaccine. However, if a child has a severe allergic reaction to gelatin, caution would be taken in administering the vaccine.

A. A high-fat, low-protein diet is not appropriate for a toddler with cystic fibrosis. The body’s increased need for protein due to malabsorption requires a higher protein intake to support growth and repair.

B. A low carbohydrate, high-fat diet is not ideal for a child with cystic fibrosis. The child requires a balanced diet to meet their energy needs, with adequate carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

C. A moderate protein, low-calorie diet would not meet the nutritional needs of a toddler with cystic fibrosis. The child needs a high-calorie diet to compensate for the malabsorption of nutrients.

D. A high-protein, high-calorie diet is the recommended diet for children with cystic fibrosis, as they have increased metabolic demands and require more calories and protein to support growth and prevent malnutrition.
