Answer to Question 1

C
Asthma is common in children and often occurs before the age of 5 . It is most frequent among the poor. A permanent obstruction of the airways would cause death. Asthma is a temporary obstruction of the airways.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. Giving the medication before school, after school, and at bedtime may be perfectly acceptable, but the nurse will advise the family to inform the school nurse of the medication being administered so that she can be in tune with precautions or other considerations that may apply.
B Correct. Have caregivers inform appropriate school personnel of the medication the child is taking, the purpose of the medication, how long the child will be taking the medication, and any special precautions or considerations needed then the child is taking the medication. Teach caregivers to be aware of and follow local school policy regarding medications taken at school.
C Incorrect. Having the child stay home until the medication is completely finished is not the advice the nurse would give, as the child will fall behind in their schoolwork.
D Incorrect. The nurse will not advise the family to alter the number of times per day the medicine is taken as this will affect the efficacy.
