Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. The slow administration of IM and IV medications is not identified as being a necessary intervention.
B Correct. Thrombocytopenia, which results from a decrease in the number of platelets, places the pediatric client at risk for bleeding. Therefore, it will be necessary for the nurse to apply pressure to the injection site for at least 10 minutes following the administration of the medication.
C Incorrect. Ice would not be necessary to the IM or IV site.
D Incorrect. Massaging the site would be contraindicated, as doing so may promote bleeding at the site.

D

Feedback
A Incorrect: This is not the correct age.
B Incorrect: This is not the correct age.
C Incorrect: This is not the correct age.
D Correct: The average age of puberty is 12 years for females in the United States.
