The nurse is planning to teach parents about prevention of Reye's syndrome. What information would the nurse include in this teaching?
Explanation & Rationale
A. This is incorrect and dangerous—aspirin is strongly associated with Reye's syndrome when given to children with viral infections (e.g., flu, chickenpox). B. While testing may be appropriate if symptoms arise, this does not prevent the syndrome. C. The most important preventive teaching is to avoid giving salicylates (like aspirin) to children with viral symptoms, as this is a known risk factor for Reye's syndrome, a potentially fatal condition. D. There is no vaccine specifically for Reye’s syndrome, so immunization is not a method of prevention.
