The school nurse is conducting pediculosis capitis checks. A child with a positive head check would have which finding?

A. Rhinitis, or nasal inflammation, can occur in various respiratory infections but is not a primary symptom of bacterial pneumonia. While some children with pneumonia may have nasal congestion or a runny nose, it is not a defining characteristic of pneumonia.
B. Hemoptysis, or coughing up blood, is not a common symptom of bacterial pneumonia, especially in children. While it can occur in severe cases or specific types of pneumonia, it is not typically expected during the initial assessment of bacterial pneumonia in pediatric patients.
C. A high fever is a common and expected symptom in children with bacterial pneumonia. The body’s response to the infection often includes elevated temperatures, and fever is one of the key signs that healthcare providers look for when diagnosing pneumonia.
D. Constipation is not a symptom associated with bacterial pneumonia. While general illness can affect bowel habits, constipation is not typically seen in patients with pneumonia. The focus of the assessment would be on respiratory symptoms rather than gastrointestinal issues.

A. Cyanosis is a late sign of hypoxia, occurring when oxygen saturation is significantly low. It's often visible in the mucous membranes and skin.
B. Restlessness is often one of the earliest signs of hypoxia. As oxygen levels decrease, the brain becomes deprived of oxygen, leading to changes in mental status, including restlessness, confusion, and agitation.
C. Increased respirations (tachypnea) can be a sign of hypoxia, but it's often a later response as the body attempts to compensate for decreased oxygen levels.
D. Hypertension is not a typical sign of hypoxia. In fact, severe hypoxia can lead to hypotension as blood pressure decreases.
