Answer to Question 1

B
Tylenol may be administered as directed by a prescriber for the fever and aches.
Children receiving the vaccine should avoid aspirin and other salicylates for 6 weeks; this pre-caution is based on the theoretical risk of Reye's syndrome when children take aspirin.
A cool bath is not indicated for a low-grade fever, and the child does not need to have the cloth-ing removed with a low-grade temperature.
The child should not take ibuprofen every day for 6 weeks.

Answer to Question 2

C
The nurse should monitor the patient for bruising or bleeding gums, because cefotetan can pro-mote bleeding, especially when administered concurrently with warfarin.
Nothing indicates that the nurse should monitor for an elevated white blood cell count or toxic levels of cefotetan.
Nothing indicates that the patient's potassium levels should be assessed.
