Answer to Question 1
A
Feedback:
Because ibuprofen (Pediaprofen) can cause gastrointestinal irritation, it should be given with food or fluids. The medication dosage should be measured by using the device supplied with the medication and not using a kitchen spoon. Fluids should be encouraged when taking this medication because renal failure can occur if the child becomes dehydrated. If the child complains of a stomachache while taking this medication, notify the health care provider. This could be an indication of an adverse effect.
Answer to Question 2
D, E
Feedback:
The nurse should instruct the parent to stay with the child for at least 4 hours to ensure dizziness does not occur with walking. The parent should also make sure that the child can swallow liquids without choking before providing solid food. If vomiting occurs, the health care provider should be contacted. The child's swallowing ability needs to be assessed before providing with solid food. Physical activity that requires alertness should be avoided for 12 hours because the sedation can affect coordination and balance.
