An anxious parent voices concern about MRSA at her son's high school. The nurse reassures the parent that:
 
  1. There are several oral antibiotics to which the infection is sensitive.
  2. The infection is usually sensitive only to IV antibiotics.
  3. MRSA is more common in preschools.
  4. Invasive infections are common in CAMRSA.

Question 2

The nurse is caring for a preterm infant born 2 weeks ago at 28 weeks' gestation. The infant is not eating well, is lethargic, and vomits after eating in the morning. Later that morning, the infant begins to have mild respiratory distress.
 
  The nurse suspects: 1. Gastritis.
  2. Intraventricular hemorrhage.
  3. Infection.
  4. Gastric virus.

Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: CAMRSA remains sensitive to several oral antibiotics, including Bactrim and clindamycin.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Signs and symptoms of infection are often subtle in the newborn, beginning with poor feeding, lethargy, vomiting, and/or diarrhea. As the day progresses, the infant might show temperature instability or respiratory distress. GI symptoms do not necessarily indicate an infection of the GI tract.
