Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Administer N-acetylcysteine.

Initiate chelation therapy with deferoxamine.

Perform gastric lavage with activated charcoal.

Induce vomiting with syrup of ipecac.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

Activated charcoal should be given as soon as possible to help absorb the acetylsalicylic acid in the gastrointestinal tract.
Choice A is not an answer because N-acetylcysteine is used to treat acetaminophen overdose, not acetylsalicylic acid overdose.
Choice B is not an answer because chelation therapy with deferoxamine is used to treat iron poisoning, not acetylsalicylic acid overdose.
Choice D is not an answer because inducing vomiting with syrup of ipecac is no longer recommended for the treatment of poisoning due to the potential for harm and lack of evidence of beneﬁt.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Head lice are spread most commonly by direct head-to-head (hair-to-hair) contact.
However, much less frequently they are spread by sharing clothing or belongings onto which lice have crawled or nits attached to shed hairs may have fallen.
Choice B is not correct because lice cannot jump from one child to another. Choice C is not correct because live lice survive less than 1-2 days if they fall oﬀ a
person and cannot feed.
Choice D is not correct because washing your child’s hair daily will not prevent lice.

A. Feelings of isolation. B. Frequent nosebleeds. C. Back pain. D. Itching of skin.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Isotretinoin has been associated with depression and other psychiatric side eﬀects.
The client should report any changes in mood or behavior, including feelings of isolation, to the provider immediately.
Choice B is not an answer because while frequent nosebleeds can be a side
eﬀect of isotretinoin, it is not the priority to report to the provider.
Choice C is not an answer because while back pain can be a side eﬀect of isotretinoin, it is not the priority to report to the provider.
Choice D is not an answer because while itching of the skin can be a side eﬀect of isotretinoin, it is not the priority to report to the provider.
