A nurse is planning care for a 4-year-old child who requires isolation and airborne precautions.
Which of the following activities should the nurse plan for this child?
Constructing a model airplane.
Putting together a large-piece puzzle.
Playing in the hallway.
Watching a video game in the playroom.
The Correct Answer is B
Choice A rationale
Constructing a model airplane may require smaller parts and more intricate work, not ideal for a 4-year-old child.
Choice B rationale
Putting together a large-piece puzzle is suitable for fine motor skills development and can be done while in isolation.
Choice C rationale
Playing in the hallway would expose the child to other areas and people, defeating the purpose of airborne precautions.
Choice D rationale
Watching a video game in the playroom is not feasible as it would require leaving the isolation area.

Correct Answer is ["A"]
Explanation
Step 1 is 33 lb × (1 kg ÷ 2.2 lb) = 15 kg.
Step 2 is 30 mg/kg/day × 15 kg = 450 mg/day.
Step 3 is 450 mg/day ÷ 2 = 225 mg per dose.
Step 4 is 225 mg ÷ (200 mg/5 mL) = 5.625 mL. The final calculated answer is 5.6 mL.
Correct Answer is ["A","B","C","D"]
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Inspection is always the first step in an abdominal assessment. It involves visually examining the abdomen for any abnormalities such as distention, masses, or scars.
Choice B rationale
Auscultation follows inspection and involves listening to bowel sounds with a stethoscope. This helps to assess the presence and frequency of peristalsis.
Choice C rationale
Deep palpation is performed after superficial palpation to identify any deep-seated abnormalities or pain. It helps in assessing the size, shape, consistency, and mobility of abdominal organs.
Choice D rationale
Superficial palpation is performed before deep palpation to detect any tenderness, muscle resistance, or superficial masses. It is done gently to avoid causing discomfort to the child.
