Patient Data Exhibits The healthcare provider initiates prescriptions. Select the additional 4 questions the nurse should include in the assessment.
Explanation & Rationale
Rationale: A. Does the toddler experience choking or gagging after eating?: Asking about choking or gagging helps identify possible swallowing difficulties or risk of aspiration, which may complicate upper respiratory infections. B. Has the toddler been treated for these symptoms before?: Knowing prior treatments or recurrent infections provides context for chronicity, helps identify resistant infections, and guides current care decisions. C. Does the toddler follow a strict daily routine?: While routines affect behavior and sleep, this information is not directly relevant to assessing the current respiratory illness or risk factors. D. Does the toddler attend daycare?: Attendance at daycare increases exposure to infectious agents and helps evaluate risk for contagious illness or recurrent upper respiratory infections. E. Does the toddler eat table food?: Diet details are not immediately relevant to the acute assessment of respiratory symptoms and infection risk. F. Does smoking occur in the home?: Exposure to secondhand smoke increases the risk of respiratory infections and may exacerbate symptoms, making it an important factor in assessment.
