Low-fat yogurt with blueberries and granola
Cheese, banana slices, rice cakes, and whole milk
Eggs, bacon, rye toast, and lactose-free milk
Egg, cheese, and sausage wrapped in a flour tortilla
The Correct Answer is B
Rationale:
A. Granola often contains gluten, so this meal would not be suitable for someone with celiac disease.
B. Cheese, banana slices, rice cakes, and whole milk are gluten-free and appropriate for a child with celiac disease.
C. Rye toast contains gluten, which is contraindicated for someone with celiac disease.
D. Flour tortillas generally contain gluten, so this meal is not appropriate for someone with celiac disease.

Correct Answer is C
Explanation
Rationale:
A. A capillary refill greater than 3 seconds suggests ongoing dehydration and poor perfusion, indicating that oral rehydration has not been fully effective.
B. A respiratory rate of 24/min is within normal limits for a 4-year-old but is not a direct indicator of hydration status.
C. A urine specific gravity of 1.015 is within the normal range, indicating adequate hydration and that oral rehydration therapy has been effective.
D. A heart rate of 130 bpm, while potentially normal for a 4-year-old, does not specifically indicate the effectiveness of rehydration therapy.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
Rationale:
A. Prone positioning is not recommended post-operatively for abdominal surgery and could exacerbate respiratory issues.
B. While monitoring white blood cell count is important, encouraging lung expansion and preventing complications such as atelectasis is a more immediate priority.
C. The client's pain rating is low and does not necessitate immediate administration of acetaminophen.
D. Encouraging the use of an incentive spirometer helps improve lung expansion, which is crucial to prevent atelectasis and promote proper oxygenation, particularly when breath sounds are diminished.
