Which immunization will the nurse teach to the mothers that can assist in preventing the life-threatening disease epiglottitis?

Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR)

Diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (DTaP)

Hepatitis B

Hemophilus influenzae type B (Hib)

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

a) Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR): Does not directly protect against epiglottitis.

b) Diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (DTaP): While important for other diseases, does not directly prevent epiglottitis.

c) Hepatitis B: Provides immunity against hepatitis B, not epiglottitis.

d) Hemophilus influenzae type B (Hib): The Hib vaccine specifically targets Haemophilus influenzae type B bacteria, which is the main cause of epiglottitis. Immunization with the Hib vaccine has dramatically reduced the incidence of epiglottitis and other serious infections caused by Hib.

b) Watery diarrhea: Not typically associated with pyloric stenosis.

c) Increased urine output: Unrelated to pyloric stenosis, urinary output might vary based on other factors.

d) Bloody stools: Typically not a primary symptom of pyloric stenosis, which primarily affects the passage of food from the stomach.

A. Do not report any pause in respiration unless it's greater than 20 seconds B. Report any neonate with nasal flaring C. Report any pause in respiration greater than 10 seconds D. Report any respiratory rate of 40 or greater

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Do not report any pause in respiration unless it's greater than 20 seconds.Any pause in respiration can be significant in neonates. A pause in breathing, even if less than 20 seconds, should be reported, as it could indicate a potential problem. This option downplays the importance of monitoring respiratory patterns.

B. Report any neonate with nasal flaring.Nasal flaring in a neonate is a sign of respiratory distress. This instruction is essential because nasal flaring indicates the infant is working harder to breathe and may require further evaluation and intervention.

C. Report any pause in respiration greater than 10 seconds.While this is important, nasal flaring is a more immediate and visible sign of respiratory distress that should be reported.

D. Report any respiratory rate of 40 or greater.A respiratory rate of 40 breaths per minute is within the normal range for neonates. Reporting a normal rate would not be necessary and could create unnecessary concern.
