A nurse is providing teaching about injury prevention to the parents of a toddler. Which of the following safety measures should the nurse include in the teaching?

Rationale:

A. Scaly lesions on the inner thighs are not typically characteristic of scabies. Scabies lesions are often burrow-like and appear as small, raised, grayish-white or skin- colored lines, not scaly.

B. A rash with red macular lesions on the scalp is not characteristic of scabies.

Scabies lesions typically occur in areas with thin skin, such as the webs of fingers, wrists, elbows, axillary folds, waistline, buttocks, and genitalia.

C. A bull's eye edematous area on the groin is not characteristic of scabies. Scabies lesions usually present as small, raised, grayish-white or skin-colored lines or bumps, not as bull's eye patterns.

D. Maculopapular skin burrows on the hand are a classic manifestation of scabies.

Scabies mites burrow into the skin to lay eggs, causing raised, linear, erythematous, and excoriated lesions, which may appear as small papules or vesicles with a surrounding erythematous flare.

A. Hypotension is not a common adverse effect of cefazolin. While hypotension can occur in severe allergic reactions, it is not a typical side effect of this medication.

B. Prolonged wound healing is not a primary concern with cefazolin. This antibiotic does not typically affect wound healing directly.

C. Stevens-Johnson syndrome is correct. Cefazolin can cause serious skin reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome, which is a severe, life-threatening condition characterized by blistering and peeling of the skin. The nurse should monitor for signs of this reaction.

D. Bradypnea is not a common adverse effect of cefazolin. Respiratory depression is not typically associated with this medication.
