Answer to Question 1

3
Feedback
1. The fever is low grade and not a priority at this time.
2. 89 percent oxygen saturation on room air needs to have a further assessment to see why the child is low in saturations.
3. Suctioning helps remove all the secretions and opens the airway with the possibility of increasing oxygen saturations.
4. A quiet environment will help the child rest, but is not a priority at this time.
