Apply bactericidal ointment to lesions.

Soak hairbrushes in boiling water for 10 minutes.

Administer acyclovir PO two times per day.

Seal soft toys in a plastic bag for 14 days.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

Impetigo is treated with antibiotics, either topical antibiotics (medicine rubbed onto the sores) or oral antibiotics (medicine taken by mouth). A doctor might recommend a topical ointment for only a few sores.

Choice B is wrong because Soak hairbrushes in boiling water for 10 minutes, is not a recommended instruction for the treatment of impetigo.

Choice C is wrong because Administer acyclovir PO two times per day, is not a recommended instruction for the treatment of impetigo as acyclovir is an antiviral medication and impetigo is caused by bacteria.

Choice D is wrong because Seal soft toys in a plastic bag for 14 days, is not a recommended instruction for the treatment of impetigo.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Ataxia is a neurological sign that refers to a lack of muscle coordination and can cause staggering. Inhalation of gasoline vapors can cause symptoms such as dizziness or lightheadedness, headache, facial flushing, coughing or wheezing, staggering, slurred speech, blurry vision and weakness.

Choice B is wrong because Hypothermia is not an answer because hypothermia refers to a dangerously low body temperature and is not a symptom of gasoline inhalation.

Choice C is wrong because Hyperactive reflexes are not an answer because hyperactive reflexes refer to overactive or overresponsive reflexes and are not a symptom of gasoline inhalation.

Choice D is wrong because Pinpoint pupils are not an answer because pinpoint pupils refer to abnormally small pupils and are not a symptom of gasoline inhalation.

A. Keep the television on in the room to provide background noise. B. Provide frequent range of motion to the neck and shoulders. C. Pad the side rails of the crib. D. Place the infant in a semiprivate room.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Pad the side rails of the crib.

Padding the side rails of the crib can help prevent injury if the infant experiences seizures, which can be a symptom of bacterial meningitis.

Choice A is wrong because infants with bacterial meningitis may be sensitive to noise and light, so keeping the television on may not be appropriate.

Choice B is wrong because range of motion exercises to the neck and shoulders may not be appropriate for an infant with bacterial meningitis.

Choice D is wrong because placing the infant in a semiprivate room may increase the risk of infection 1.
