Pediatrics Proctored exam
The nurse is educating parents of a child admitted to the hospital with rubella (German measles). Which statement by the parents indicates the further education is needed?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Wearing a mask helps prevent the spread of rubella, which is transmitted via respiratory droplets. B. Acetaminophen or ibuprofen can be used to manage fever and discomfort associated with rubella. C. Rubella is a viral infection, so antibiotics are not effective and are not indicated for treatment. This statement reflects a misunderstanding, indicating a need for further education. D. The child is contagious from about 7 days before to 7 days after the onset of the rash, so this statement is accurate.
