What is the recommended time for a child with varicella to return to school?
After all the blisters have crusted over
After receiving the varicella vaccine
After completing one week of antiviral medication
As soon as the rash appears
The Correct Answer is A
A. A child with varicella (chickenpox) should return to school only after all the blisters have crusted over, indicating that the infectious stage has passed and they are no longer contagious.
B. Receiving the varicella vaccine does not apply to children who already have the infection; vaccination is preventive, not a treatment for those already infected.
C. Completing one week of antiviral medication is not a sufficient criterion for returning to school, as the child may still be contagious until all lesions are crusted.
D. Returning to school as soon as the rash appears is not safe, as the child is highly contagious during the initial rash stage and until all lesions have crusted.

Correct Answer is A
Explanation
A. Holding breath for 10 seconds after inhaling the medication allows for better absorption of the medication in the lungs, indicating understanding of proper inhaler technique.
B. Taking a quick inhalation is incorrect; the client should take a slow, deep breath to ensure the medication reaches the lungs effectively.
C. Waiting 10 minutes between inhalations is not necessary unless specifically instructed; usually, a second puff can be taken after 1-2 minutes if needed.
D. The client should exhale before inhaling the medication, not while it is being released; exhaling first clears the lungs for a more effective inhalation.
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
A. This option is incorrect as it does not describe the expected blood pressure difference in coarctation of the aorta.
B. Coarctation of the aorta typically presents with higher blood pressure in the upper body (arms) and lower blood pressure in the lower body (legs) due to the obstruction of blood flow distal to the aortic arch.
C. This option is incorrect because while coarctation can lead to decreased perfusion in the lower extremities, it does not typically result in decreased blood pressure in both the arms and legs simultaneously.
D. While increased blood pressure may occur in the arms, the legs would not typically show increased blood pressure in cases of coarctation.
