A nurse is planning a community health program about Parkinson's disease. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include as a tertiary prevention strategy?

A) Kaposi's sarcoma lesions: Kaposi's sarcoma is a cancer that commonly appears in individuals with immunocompromised states, such as those with HIV/AIDS. It is not associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Therefore, finding Kaposi's sarcoma lesions would not be expected in a client with SLE.

B) Hemangiomas: Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors typically seen in infants and children. While they can occur in various skin conditions, they are not characteristic of systemic lupus erythematosus. Thus, finding hemangiomas would not be relevant in this context.

C) Psoriasis: Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes red, scaly patches on the skin. While both psoriasis and lupus are autoimmune disorders, the specific skin manifestations of lupus differ from those of psoriasis. Therefore, a nurse would not expect to find psoriasis in a client with systemic lupus erythematosus.

D) Raised facial rash: A raised facial rash, often described as a "butterfly rash," is a classic manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus. This rash typically appears across the cheeks and nose and is associated with photosensitivity, making it a key finding when assessing clients with SLE. Thus, the presence of a raised facial rash is an expected and significant finding in this condition.

A) Initiate droplet precautions: This is the correct answer. Epiglottitis can be caused by infections such as Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), which can spread through respiratory droplets. Implementing droplet precautions helps prevent the transmission of the infection to others.

B) Carefully suction the child's oropharynx to remove secretions: This intervention is risky in cases of epiglottitis because it may cause further airway obstruction or distress. It is generally avoided unless there is a clear indication that it is safe to do so.

C) Offer a high-calorie, high-protein diet: While nutrition is important, the immediate priority in a child with epiglottitis is to ensure airway patency and manage the infection, not dietary considerations.

D) Administer pancreatic enzymes with meals: This intervention is not relevant to epiglottitis, as pancreatic enzymes are typically indicated for conditions affecting digestion, such as cystic fibrosis or pancreatic insufficiency, rather than for an upper airway infection.
