While interviewing the parents of a 2-year-old female, the nurse notes that the mother is pregnant. At the end of the visit, the nurse decides to give a new pamphlet to the parents about car seat usage for newborns. This action is an example of:
 
  1. Secondary preventative health maintenance.
  2. Primary preventative health maintenance.
  3. Developmental screening.
  4. Tertiary preventative health maintenance.

Question 2

The nurse is administering several medications to an infant with neurologic impairment and delay. The medication that utilizes a proton pump inhibitor administered for gastroesophageal reflux is:
 
  1. Omeprazole (Prilosec).
  2. Ranitidine (Zantac).
  3. Phenytoin (Dilantin).
  4. Glycopyrrolate (Robinul).

Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale:
1. The secondary level of prevention is focused on diagnosis of a problem, usually medical in nature, in order to address it and make a plan of care.
2. The teaching regarding proper car seat use is an example of an activity that might decrease the opportunity for injury in a newborn; therefore, this is primary preventive health maintenance.
3. This is education, and not a developmental screening to elicit data. The focus of the teaching is on an unborn child, so developmental level is not a current issue.
4. The tertiary level of preventative care is related to restoring a level of functioning that is below an expected level, such as in a rehabilitation situation.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. Omeprazole (Prilosec) utilizes a proton pump inhibitor that blocks the action of acid-producing cells and is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux.
2. Ranitidine (Zantac) causes the stomach to produce less acid, and may be used to treat gastroesophageal reflux, but it is a histamine-2 receptor blocker.
3. Phenytoin (Dilantin) is an anticonvulsant used to treat seizures.
4. Glycopyrrolate (Robinul) is an anticholinergic agent used to inhibit excessive salivation.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
