A newborn with transposition of the grater arteries has been prescribed Captopril. The mother asks why the child needs to be on such a medication. The best response by the nurse would be:
 
  1. Your child needs the beta-blocker to decrease the angiotensin in the body..
   2. The medication will help decrease the shortness-of-breath episodes..
   3. The medication is an antihypertensive that helps relax the coronary arteries..
   4. Your child is not responding to the prostaglandin E drip, so the Captopril needs to be started to decrease the blood pressure..

Question 2

The nurse is instructing a 13 year old and her mother on alternative therapies for cold sores. The alternative therapies consist of:
 
  1. Warm compresses to the lips.
   2. Mouthwash with 1 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate in slightly warm water.
   3. Using lip gloss to create a barrier so that the drainage decreases.
   4. None of the above is an alternative therapy for cold sores.
