Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: Teeth whitener is not mentioned in the scenario, and while the nurse would be concerned if a six-year-old was using it, fluoride use is more important.
Rationale 2: Many changes occur in the mouth during school-age years, necessitating periodic examination. Inquire about use of fluoride if the water supply is not fluoridated. Well water does not contain fluoride.
Rationale 3: Mouthwash use in a six-year-old is not as important as asking about fluoride use.
Rationale 4: Asking about the number of teeth lost is not as important as finding out whether fluoride is in use.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. The pain during a sickling crisis is severe, and morphine is needed for pain control around the clock or by patient-controlled analgesia (PCA).
2. Meperidine is not used for pain control for clients with sickle-cell pain crisis, because it can cause seizures.
3. Acetaminophen or ibuprofen is used for mild pain, and would not be effective for the severe pain experienced by a child in sickle-cell pain crisis.
4. Acetaminophen or ibuprofen is used for mild pain, and would not be effective for the severe pain experienced by a child in sickle-cell pain crisis.
