  2. The fourmonth-old infant who has come for immunizations
  3. The child holding his ear and crying
  4. The adolescent holding his swollen hand and complaining of pain

Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: The flushed face could indicate a fever. The rash may be related to a communicable disease. It is important that this child not expose other children, so this child should be moved to the examination room to reduce exposure.
Rationale 2: This child can wait until called to the examining room.
Rationale 3: This child probably has an ear infection and can wait until called to the examining room.
Rationale 4: This child may have a break or a sprain but can wait until called to the examination room.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:

1. Ninety percent of Native Americans metabolize isoniazid slowly, so individuals from this race require less medication to avoid neuropathic symptoms.
2. Greater than 50 of Blacks metabolize isoniazid slowly.
3. Only 734 of Japanese clients metabolize isoniazid slowly.
4. Less than 50 of Whites metabolize isoniazid slowly.
