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?

A.

Constructing a model airplane.

B.

Putting together a large-piece puzzle.

C.

Playing in the hallway.

D.

Watching a video game in the playroom.

Answer and Explanation

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

Choice A rationale

Preterm newborns have underdeveloped mechanisms for thermoregulation, making it difficult for them to maintain stable body temperatures without external assistance.

Choice B rationale

Preterm newborns do not sweat significantly because their sweat glands are not fully developed; thus, this rationale is incorrect.

Choice C rationale

Preterm newborns actually have a larger body surface area relative to their weight, contributing to their difficulty in maintaining body temperature.

Choice D rationale

Preterm newborns have insufficient brown fat, not an excess, which impairs their ability to generate heat effectively.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Examining the tympanic membrane at the beginning may cause distress to the child and make the rest of the exam difficult.

Choice B rationale

Before auscultating the chest and abdomen, the child needs to be calm and cooperative, which might not be the case if their ear is examined first.

Choice C rationale

Examining the tympanic membrane before the head and neck could lead to increased anxiety and uncooperativeness in the child during the rest of the exam.

Choice D rationale

Examining the tympanic membrane at the end allows for a more accurate and complete examination without causing the child to become distressed early in the process.
