A nurse is reviewing the medical records of several children in an outpatient clinic. The nurse should identify that which of the following infections is included on the list of nationally notifiable conditions?

Rationale:

A) Using the index finger is a common site for blood glucose monitoring, but it does not specifically address minimizing pain.

B) Holding the finger under warm water can increase blood flow and make blood glucose monitoring less painful.

C) Puncturing the center of the finger pad is a common technique for obtaining a blood sample, but it does not specifically address minimizing pain.

D) Holding the finger against a table is not a recommended method for minimizing pain during blood glucose monitoring and may increase discomfort.

Rationale:

A) Peanut butter is not a rapidly absorbed source of glucose and may not be appropriate for treating hypoglycemia.

B) While rechecking the child's blood glucose level is important, immediate treatment should be initiated for symptomatic hypoglycemia.

C) Administering a rapidly absorbed source of sugar, such as 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey, is the priority intervention for treating hypoglycemia in a conscious child.

D) Documenting the incident is important but should not delay the administration of treatment for hypoglycemia.
