The parents can add raw fruit, cheese, or firmly cooked vegetables to the die

The child should probably be eating more times per day

The parents should consider using a fluoride supplement

The child can now convert to animal milk instead of formula

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : A,C,D

A)   Correct- This is correct advice. Juice is not recommended for infants due to its high sugar content and lack of essential nutrients. It can contribute to excessive calorie intake and dental caries.
B)   Incorrect- This is not accurate for a 9-month-old infant. By 9 months, most infants have already started to transition to solid foods, and their primary source of nutrition should be from a variety of solid foods, not formula.
C)   Correct- This is correct advice. By 9 months, infants can begin to consume a variety of complementary foods to meet their nutritional needs. Adding raw fruit, cheese, or cooked vegetables can provide important nutrients and help introduce different tastes and textures.
D)   Correct- As infants transition to solid foods, they typically require more frequent meals and snacks to meet their energy and nutrient needs. Breast milk or formula intake may also gradually decrease as solid foods are introduced.
E)   Incorrect- Fluoride supplementation may be considered based on the fluoride content of the water supply and the child's risk of dental caries. However, this advice is not specific to the child's nutrition and feeding progression.
F. Incorrect- At 9 months, infants should not transition to whole cow's milk as their main source of nutrition. Breast milk or infant formula remains the primary source of nutrition, and cow's milk can be introduced as a beverage and ingredient in cooking after the first year of life.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A) Correct- With a significantly low platelet count, the risk of bleeding is elevated. Assessing urine and stool for occult (hidden) blood is important to detect any signs of internal bleeding that may not be immediately apparent. A low platelet count increases the risk of spontaneous bleeding, which can be life-threatening if undetected.
B) Incorrect- This choice is related to neutropenia, not thrombocytopenia. Neutropenia, or low neutrophil count, increases the risk of infection, which is why monitoring temperature frequently is important.

C) Incorrect- Monitoring for signs of activity intolerance is not directly related to the low platelet count. The primary concern with thrombocytopenia is the risk of bleeding, not generalized activity intolerance.
D) Incorrect- Requiring visitors to wear respiratory masks is not relevant to the client's current condition of low platelet count. This action is related to infection control and protection from respiratory infections.

A. Discuss that partners without similar symptoms may not be infected. B. Answer questions directly and correct any misinformation. C. Provide counseling that most contraceptives protect against infection. D. Notify that persons with STIs are reported to local health departments.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A) Incorrect - While discussing the potential for asymptomatic partners is important, addressing the client's concerns and providing accurate information is more immediate.
B) Correct- Syphilis and other STIs are important public health concerns. The nurse should provide accurate information, answer questions, and correct any misconceptions the client might have. This approach supports the client's knowledge and understanding of their health condition and prevents the spread of misinformation.
C) Incorrect - While discussing contraceptives is relevant to sexual health education, it may not directly address the client's concerns about their prior infections.
D) Incorrect - Notifying local health departments is important for reporting communicable diseases, but it doesn't directly address the client's current situation and concerns.
