    The mother of a child who is hospitalized with croup and is in a mist tent brings the child's favorite stuffed animal to the hospital. Which action should the practical nurse (PN) take?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Limit play with the stuffed toy when out of tent: Doesn’t address infection control inside tent. B. Allow the child to have the stuffed toy in the tent: Familiar items reduce anxiety; mist tent moisture doesn’t require toy exclusion if clean. C. Ask the mother to wash the toy daily: Not necessary unless visibly soiled; overburdens family. D. Spray toy with disinfectant before placing in tent: Disinfectant residue may be harmful to child.
