Answer to Question 1

2

Rationale: The mother should be instructed that the child with HIV infection should keep im-munizations up to date. The child with HIV infection and the siblings will receive an inactivated polio vaccine because the child with HIV infection is immunocompromised. All household members will receive the influenza vaccine. The immunization schedule would not be altered in any other way, and it is important for the mother to understand clearly the immunization sched-ule.

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale: Stomatitis, or mouth ulcerations, occurs with the administration of many antineoplastic medications. The client's mouth should be examined daily for signs of ulceration. If stomatitis occurs, the client should be instructed to rinse the mouth with baking soda or saline. Food and fluids are important and should not be restricted. If chewing and swallowing are painful, the client may switch to a liquid diet. Instruct the client to avoid spicy foods and foods with hard crusts or edges. The client should avoid tooth brushing and flossing when stomatitis is severe. Lemon and glycerin swabs may cause pain and further irritation.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
