"I will place my baby in a forward-facing car seat in my back seat."

"I can turn my baby's car seat around when she weighs 15 pounds."

"I will position my baby at a 45-degree angle in the car seat."

"I can place my baby in the front seat with the airbag turned off."

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

A.   Placing a newborn in a forward-facing car seat is unsafe and not recommended due to the risk of injury in case of a crash.
B.   Turning the baby's car seat around at 15 pounds is too early. Rear-facing car seats are recommended until the child reaches the weight or height limit set by the manufacturer.
C.   Positioning the baby at a 45-degree angle in the car seat helps prevent airway obstruction and allows for proper breathing and spinal alignment.
D.   Placing a baby in the front seat, even with the airbag turned off, is not recommended due to the risk of injury from airbag deployment.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Absence seizures typically last only a few seconds, not as long as 30 to 60 seconds, so this statement is incorrect.
B. Absence seizures typically occur without warning or aura, so this statement is incorrect.
C. Absence seizures often manifest as brief episodes of staring or blank expression, which can be mistaken for daydreaming or inattention. Educating parents about this characteristic helps them recognize and appropriately respond to absence seizures in their child.
D. Absence seizures have a sudden onset and offset without warning, so this statement is incorrect.

A. Give the dose over 60 min. B. Administer the medication undiluted. C. Inject 19% lidocaine prior to each dose. D. Obtain a trough level 30 min after the medication infusion.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Administering vancomycin over a longer infusion time, such as 60 minutes, can help reduce the risk of adverse reactions, such as red man syndrome or nephrotoxicity. Slower infusion rates allow for better tolerance of the medication.
B. Vancomycin should be diluted appropriately before administration to reduce the risk of infusion-related reactions.
C. Lidocaine is not typically used prior to vancomycin administration. The use of lidocaine would be more relevant for local anesthesia, not for systemic medication administration like vancomycin.

D. Trough levels are typically obtained just before the next dose of vancomycin is due, not immediately after the infusion.
