A mother has called the triage nurse of the pediatric clinic to ask what she should do for her son's frequent epistaxis episodes. The treatment should include:
 
  1. Having the child sit up with his head tilted forward so that blood does not go down the throat.
   2. Encouraging the child to breathe through his nose.
   3. Having the child attempt to keep his nose clean.
   4. Applying heat to the nares.

Question 2

A 15 year old has been an inpatient for the last 24 hours due to dehydration and vomiting. The nurse calculates the adolescents urine output for the shift at 0.3 ml/kg/hour. What does this result indicate?
 
  1. The result is low for this age range, and the patient needs more fluid intake.
   2. The result is normal, and the patient needs to maintain the level of fluid intake.
   3. The result is high, and an order for fluid restriction should be received.
   4. The result is higher than normal, but because of the diagnosis, the same fluid intake is adequate.
