Evidence has demonstrated that we can do a great deaI to prevent and minimalize the occurence of CTE (Concussion Tramatic Encephalophy), damage due to repetitive head injuries. Which of the answers below are true:

A. Place a pillow under the child's head.

Explanation: While providing comfort is important, the priority in this scenario is to ensure the child's safety. Placing a pillow under the head can be considered after addressing immediate safety concerns.

B. Clear the area of hazards.

Explanation: Correct Choice. Ensuring the area is clear of hazards is the nurse's priority. During a seizure, the child can experience uncontrolled movements, and having hazards around can lead to injuries. Clearing the area helps prevent harm. But priority is to position the child side lying.

C. Position the child side-lying.

Explanation: Correct Choice. Placing the child in a side-lying position helps prevent choking and aspiration due to vomiting during the seizure. It also minimizes the risk of airway obstruction and helps manage secretions.

D. Loosen restrictive clothing.

Explanation: While loosening restrictive clothing can facilitate breathing, the priority in this situation is addressing safety concerns related to the seizure and vomiting. Ensuring a clear and safe environment takes precedence.

A. Assess the bowel sounds:

Bowel sounds are not directly related to the assessment of ascites. Bowel sounds are more relevant in assessing gastrointestinal function and peristalsis. While bowel changes could potentially be a sign of complications, monitoring abdominal girth is more specific to tracking ascites.

B. Frequently ambulate child:

While ambulation is important for overall health, it's not a direct assessment method for monitoring ascites. Ambulating a child might have benefits, but it won't provide specific information about the presence or progression of ascites.

C. Weigh child weekly:

Weekly weighing can provide some information about overall fluid balance, but it might not be as sensitive as measuring abdominal girth when it comes to detecting changes in ascites. Additionally, monitoring weight alone might not give insight into the distribution of fluid in the abdominal cavity.

D. Monitor and measure the abdominal girth.

Explanation: The presence of ascites (accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity) in a child with nephrotic syndrome could indicate worsening kidney function and fluid balance. Monitoring and measuring the abdominal girth is a reliable way to assess changes in the amount of fluid accumulation over time. An increase in abdominal girth could suggest a worsening condition.
