Surgery should be done by one month to prevent bladder infections. This statement is not accurate. While early surgery is generally recommended, the one-month timeframe is not a strict rule. The primary reason for early correction is to improve the cosmetic appearance of the penis, but it is not primarily aimed at preventing bladder infections.

The urethral repair should be done after sexual maturity. This statement is incorrect. Delaying the repair until sexual maturity is not the standard approach. In fact, earlier surgical correction is often recommended to ensure proper urinary function and to avoid potential psychological and social issues in the child.

Delaying the repair until school age reduces castration fears. This statement is not supported by current medical practice. Delaying the repair until school age can lead to psychosocial issues, as children may become more self-aware of their condition and experience teasing or psychological distress.

Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus and is not directly related to the development of acute rheumatic fever.

Mumps is caused by the mumps virus and is not directly related to the development of acute rheumatic fever.

Influenza is caused by the influenza virus and is not directly related to the development of acute rheumatic fever.

"We should be sure to start our daughter on birth control pills." This statement is not directly related to LHRH treatment for precocious sexual development. The primary goal of LHRH treatment is to delay sexual development, and birth control pills are typically not necessary for this purpose.

"Our daughter will be on this hormone treatment the rest of her life." This statement is not accurate. LHRH treatment is usually a temporary measure to delay sexual development. It is not a lifelong treatment.

"We should encourage her to dress in clothing that suits her sexual maturity level." While this is a consideration for supporting a child with precocious sexual development, the primary treatment aspect is the LHRH therapy itself, which is aimed at delaying sexual development. This statement does not directly address the treatment process.

Comparing the child's vital signs over the past three weeks (option A) may not provide significant information about the underlying cause of his symptoms, as vital signs are unlikely to directly indicate stress or emotional distress.

Counseling the parents to pay more attention to the child (option B) is a general suggestion and may not be the most effective way to address the specific issues he is facing. It's important to identify the underlying causes and stressors first.

Conducting a complete neurological assessment (option C) is not warranted at this stage, as the child's symptoms are more likely related to emotional or psychological factors rather than a neurological problem. Gathering information about his school experiences would be a more appropriate initial step.

Plays "peek-a-boo."This is a social and cognitive milestone. Infants typically develop social interactions like peek-a-boo around 6-9 months of age. This behavior is normal for a 6-month-old and demonstrates social engagement.

Has doubled birth weight.Infants generally double their birth weight by around 6 months of age. This is a typical growth and developmental milestone, indicating adequate nutrition and growth.

Turns head to locate sound.
This is a normal developmental milestone for an infant. By 6 months of age, infants should demonstrate localization of sounds, indicating appropriate auditory and neurological development.

Giving the injection in the arm, one to 2 inches below the acromion process, is a technique typically used for adults or older children. It may not be suitable for a toddler of this age.

Using a needle length of 1/2 inch is not appropriate for intramuscular injections in a toddler. It may not reach the muscle tissue, leading to ineffective administration.

Dividing the gluteal area into quarters and giving the injection into the upper outer quadrant is a technique typically used for older children and adults, not for toddlers. It's also important to avoid intramuscular injections in the gluteal area for young children due to the risk of injury to the sciatic nerve.

Documenting the client's relief of pain is important for the medical record but is not the first priority in this situation. The immediate concern is to determine the cause of the sudden pain relief and ensure the child's well-being.

Inquiring about the client's last meal is important for pre-operative considerations, but it is not the first action to take when sudden relief of abdominal pain is reported.

Giving prescribed intravenous antibiotics may be part of the treatment plan, but it should not be the first action when the child experiences sudden relief of abdominal pain. Contacting the healthcare provider to assess the situation is more urgent.

Discontinuing the ointment once drainage resolves is not the correct instruction. It's important to complete the full course of prescribed ophthalmic antiinfective ointment as directed by the healthcare provider, even if the symptoms improve, to ensure that the infection is completely treated.

Instructing caregivers to remove secretions by wiping toward the opposite eye is not appropriate. When cleaning the eye, it's important to wipe from the inner corner of the eye (near the nose) outward to prevent any potential contamination from one eye to the other.

Preparing the child for blurry vision after ointment application is not a necessary instruction in this case. While some ointments may temporarily cause blurry vision due to their consistency, this is not the primary concern for the caregiver's education in this scenario. The main focus should be on proper hygiene and administration of the ointment.

This can be a good distraction technique, but it might not directly facilitate the lung sound assessment.

This activity might help engage the child but could make it difficult for the nurse to listen to breath sounds accurately.

Holding a toy might keep the child occupied but does not directly relate to the assessment process and might not ensure cooperation as effectively as using a stethoscope on a stuffed animal.
