Answer to Question 1

B
Increased respiratory distress will require immediate intervention. The other symptoms are those normally found in the presence of croup. Improving symptoms are not a source for concern.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A Incorrect: When the nurse is trying to treat a child's edema that is due to an allergic reaction, the nurse can reduce blood hydrostatic pressure through decreasing capillary blood flow by applying cold compresses.
B Correct: When the nurse is trying to treat a child's edema that is due to an allergic reaction, the nurse can reduce blood hydrostatic pressure through decreasing capillary blood flow not by applying warm compresses. Warm compresses will increase capillary blood flow by dilating the capillaries.
C Incorrect: Restriction of fluids will not reduce blood hydrostatic pressure by decreasing capillary blood flow.
D Incorrect: Restriction of sodium would only be appropriate if the edema resulted from sodium retention by the kidneys. That is not the case with an allergic reaction
