A nurse is preparing to administer ondansetron 0.15 mg/kg IV to a child who is receiving chemotherapy and weighs 29.4 kg. Available is ondansetron 4 mg/2 mL solution. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

A. Placing the child in a protected environment for 48 hours is not a necessary measure for managing pertussis. Pertussis is transmitted through respiratory droplets, and standard precautions are typically sufficient.

B. Administering the pertussis vaccine is a preventive measure, but it is not a treatment for an active infection. In this case, the child already has pertussis, so administering the vaccine will not address the current illness.

C. Restricting oral fluids to 500 mL per day is not a recommended intervention for pertussis. Maintaining hydration is important, and fluid intake should be based on the child's needs.

D. This is the correct action. Reporting the diagnosis of pertussis to the public health department is a crucial step in preventing the spread of the disease. It allows for contact tracing and appropriate public health measures to be implemented to limit further
transmission.

A. Jacket restraints are typically used to secure a child's arms during procedures. They are not specifically designed for venipuncture in infants.
B. Elbow restraints are used to secure the child's elbows, often during procedures involving the upper body. They are not typically used for venipuncture.
C. The mummy restraint is specifically designed to secure an infant's arms during venipuncture. It wraps the arms snugly, allowing access to the veins while minimizing movement.
D. Mitten restraints are used to prevent the child from manipulating equipment or accessing areas that should be restricted. They are not designed for venipuncture procedures.
