Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Some suggested hygiene measures that might help to control the infection include the following: Keep the child's nails cut short and hands well scrubbed, because reinfection results from the worm's eggs being carried back to the mouth after becoming lodged under the fingernails when the child scratches the pruritic perianal area. Give the child a shower in the morning to wash away any ova deposited in the anal area during the night. Change and launder undergarments, bed linens, and pajamas every day. Open gowns, rather than pajamas with pants, would not be the best choice because this would allow for greater perianal scratching.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The nurse provides thorough patient teaching, including the name of the drug, dosage prescribed, measures to avoid adverse effects, warning signs of problems, and the need for periodic monitoring and evaluation, to enhance patient knowledge about drug therapy and to promote compliance. All of the options are realistic outcomes for this patient. However, compliance is a great concern for people who are in need of hypertensive agents. It would be most important for his or her health care provider to know that he or she has filled the prescription and is taking his or her medication as prescribed. Keeping the drug out of the reach of children would be a safety measure.
