The mother of an infant diagnosed with bronchiolitis asks the nurse what causes the disease. How should the nurse respond?
- A. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)
- B. Haemophilus influenzae
- C. Parainfluenza
- D. Rotavirus
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). RSV is the most common cause of bronchiolitis, especially in infants. Bronchiolitis is characterized by inflammation of the small airways in the lungs. Choice B, Haemophilus influenzae, is a bacterium that can cause respiratory infections but is not the primary cause of bronchiolitis. Choice C, Parainfluenza, is a common viral infection that can cause croup and other respiratory illnesses but is not the main cause of bronchiolitis. Choice D, Rotavirus, is a virus that primarily affects the gastrointestinal system, causing diarrhea and vomiting, and is not associated with bronchiolitis.

Which medication should the nurse expect to administer to a child diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome to decrease proteinuria?
- A. Albumin
- B. Prednisone
- C. Penicillin
- D. Furosemide (Lasix)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Prednisone, a corticosteroid, is the primary treatment for Nephrotic Syndrome as it helps to reduce inflammation in the kidneys and decrease proteinuria by stabilizing the glomerular filtration barrier. Albumin is a protein replacement therapy and would not directly decrease proteinuria. Penicillin is an antibiotic that treats bacterial infections and is not used to manage Nephrotic Syndrome. Furosemide is a diuretic that helps in managing fluid retention but does not specifically target proteinuria in Nephrotic Syndrome.
The nurse is preparing a child for possible alopecia from chemotherapy. What information should the nurse give regarding alopecia?
- A. Hair usually regrows in two years.
- B. When hair regrows, it may have a slightly different color or texture.
- C. Expose your head to sunlight to minimize alopecia.
- D. Wearing hats and scarves are preferred to wearing a wig.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. Hair loss from chemotherapy is usually temporary, and when it regrows, it may have a different color or texture. Sun exposure should be minimized, as the scalp may be more sensitive. Wearing hats and scarves can provide comfort and protection, but there is no preference over wearing a wig. Choice A is incorrect because hair regrowth after chemotherapy varies from person to person and usually occurs sooner than two years. Choice C is incorrect as sun exposure should be minimized to protect the sensitive scalp. Choice D is incorrect as the preference between wearing hats, scarves, or a wig is subjective and depends on the individual's comfort and preferences.
