1. A nurse is teaching a mother about the immunization schedule for her baby. Between which months of age should the measles vaccine be given?

2 and 5

b. 6 and 8

c. 9 and 11

d. 12 and 15

A!

The nurse should teach the mother how to formula feed, because cultural beliefs are deeply ingrained and it is unlikely at this time that the nurse will change the client's mind. Explaining to the mother that these beliefs are wrong is a judgmental response that does not take into consideration the client's beliefs or feelings. It is not therapeutic to contradict the client, especially when the alternative to breastfeeding will not harm the mother or infant. Providing the mother with books indicating that the milk does not sour is a judgmental response that does not recognize the client's beliefs or feelings. This is not therapeutic. Antianxiety medications are contraindicated in breastfeeding women.
C!

The child with abdominal pain may assume the side-lying position with the knees flexed to the abdomen or self-splint when moving. A 4-year-old may be unable to identify the exact location of the pain; in addition, the pain may be generalized rather than localized. Auscultation may be included in the physical assessment, but it is not specific to the assessment of pain. Questioning the parents may be included when the nurse is taking the health history, but it is not specific to the current assessment of pain.
B & C!

Drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water spaced throughout the day flushes the urinary tract and minimizes urinary stasis. Urination flushes the urethra and urinary meatus, limiting the presence of microorganisms. Limiting fluid intake contributes to stasis of urine. Carbonated and caffeinated beverages irritate the bladder and should be avoided. Cleaning the perineum with harsh soaps is irritating to the skin and mucous membranes, and can contribute to the development of UTIs in susceptible women.
D!

Between 12 and 15 months is the optimal age because maternal antibodies to measles are no longer present to block the formation of the child's own antibodies. The measles vaccine is not given between 2 and 5 months, between 6 and 8 months, or between 9 and 11 months because of the questionable efficacy of the vaccination, due to the presence of maternal antibodies.
