To avoid complications, the nurse will teach the child with a genetic disorder to maintain penicillin prophylaxis if the child has been diagnosed with:

1. Hereditary idiopathic scoliosis.
2. Klinefelter's syndrome.
3. Sickle-cell disease.
4. Recklinghausen's disease.

Question 2

The weather report predicts a hurricane may be approaching the area where a child who is medically fragile lives.

As a component of the family's disaster planning, the nurse will discuss which actions with the family? Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. Providing the child's pediatrician with contact information of a health care provider in the area to which they will evacuate if that becomes necessary
2. Having sufficient medication available for at least one week
3. Having contact information for Emergency Medical Services so that they can transport the medically fragile child to the selected evacuation location
4. Admitting the child to the local hospital prior to the family evacuating the area
5. Riding out the hurricane at home; the child is too fragile to transport

Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale:

1. The client with idiopathic scoliosis is experiencing an orthopedic deviation.
2. The client with Klinefelter's syndrome has a chromosomal alteration.
3. The client with sickle-cell disease needs penicillin prophylaxis to avoid complications of infection.
4. The client with Recklinghausen's disease has a genetic disorder affecting neural tissues.

Answer to Question 2

1,2
Rationale 1: This would be appropriate. There are often several options for evacuation sites, so the parents can plan to reach a specific area.
Rationale 2: It is hard to refill medications when the family has temporarily located at a distance from their home pharmacy.
Rationale 3: The EMS will not be expected to provide transportation to the selected evacuation location. If the child cannot travel by family care, the parents will need to contract an ambulance service for transport.
Rationale 4: The best plan would be for the family to evacuate the child to a safe area. If the hurricane does hit the area, the hospital could be damaged or destroyed.
Rationale 5: Hurricanes can cause widespread damage, including long-term damage to water and electric infrastructures, which are required to care for the child who is medically fragile at home.
