The nurse conducts group education for clients with seasonal allergies, and teaches about the role of histamine. The nurse evaluates that the education has been effective when the clients make which statement?
 
  1. Histamine is inhibited by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
  2. Histamine dilates the vessels in the nose, so it is congested and stuffy.
  3. Histamine constricts vessels, causing capillaries to become more permeable.
  4. Histamine is primarily stored in phagocyte cells in the skin.

Question 2

A mother calls the clinic and tells the nurse that her 4-month-old baby has a fever. The mother asks if she can use the liquid acetaminophen (Tylenol) that is used for her 10-year-old child. What is the best response by the nurse?
 
  1. Infants should not have acetaminophen (Tylenol) because it damages the liver.
  2. It is best if the pediatrician is called; he can be asked this question.
  3. It is fine to use the same medicine for both children.
  4. Infant drops should be used for the baby; they are different from liquid medicine.

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins, and do not affect histamine.
Rationale 2: Histamine dilates blood vessels causing capillaries to become more permeable. The affected area may become congested with blood.
Rationale 3: Histamine dilates, not constricts, vessels, causing capillaries to become more permeable.
Rationale 4: Histamine is primarily stored in mast cells, not phagocyte cells.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is the preferred antipyretic drug for infants and children.
Rationale 2: The nurse can answer the mother's question; it is not necessary to refer to the pediatrician.
Rationale 3: It is not fine to use the same medicine for both children because the concentration of medication is different.
Rationale 4: Infant drops should be used for the baby; they have a different concentration of medication than the liquid preparations.
