A nurse at a teen outreach center for pregnant mothers is discussing dental care with patients. Pertinent information for the nurse to teach about would be: (Select all that apply.)
1. Cleaning the infant's teeth with cool, wet washcloths at least every day.
2. Bottles can be given in order for the infant to fall asleep and will not cause damage to the teeth.
3. Juice should not be provided because it increases tooth decay.
4. Providing teething rings can help reduce the pain of teething.
5. Brushing of teeth should only occur every few days.
Question 2
A doctor has ordered amoxicillin to be given to a child with a known urinary tract infection. The nurse knows this antibiotic:
1. Should not be given to children because it has a high occurrence of allergic reactions.
2. Is too strong of an antibiotic for a child.
3. Should be reserved for only severe cases.
4. Is appropriate for this infection, and all doses should be taken as prescribed to be effective.
