A nurse is planning care for a child who has influenzae type B. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A. Perform chest physiotherapy. This is not a standard intervention for influenza type B. Chest physiotherapy is typically used for conditions such as pneumonia or cystic fibrosis, but not for influenzae infections. B. Administer gamma globulin. Gamma globulin is not typically administered for influenza type B, as it is not a standard treatment for this viral infection. C. Implement droplet precautions. This is correct. Influenza type B is transmitted via droplets, so droplet precautions are necessary to prevent the spread of the virus to others. The child should be placed in a private room, and staff should wear a mask when entering the room. D. Instruct the parent about antibiotic therapy. Antibiotics are not effective against viral infections such as influenza type B. This statement is incorrect, as antiviral medications like oseltamivir (Tamiflu) may be prescribed, but antibiotics would not be used unless there is a secondary bacterial infection.
