Patient Data Exhibits Select the 4 topics the nurse will teach the parents to care for the toddler correctly.
Explanation & Rationale
Rationale: A. Medications: Teaching parents how to correctly administer ibuprofen, amoxicillin, and lidocaine drops including dosage, timing, and potential side effects is essential for safe and effective treatment. B. Pain control: Providing guidance on assessing the toddler’s pain using the FLACC scale and using appropriate interventions helps ensure comfort and adherence to prescribed therapies. C. Cool humidified oxygen: Oxygen therapy is not indicated for this toddler, as oxygen saturation is within normal limits. Teaching about oxygen administration is unnecessary in this scenario. D. Ear care: Parents should be instructed on proper administration of lidocaine ear drops, monitoring for irritation, and avoiding contamination, as well as general ear hygiene to prevent complications. E. Coughing and deep breathing: While important in some respiratory conditions, deep breathing exercises are not indicated for a toddler with a simple upper respiratory infection and ear involvement. F. Potential health issues: Parents should understand warning signs that require prompt follow-up, such as persistent fever, worsening pain, changes in behavior, or signs of dehydration, to prevent complications.
