After observing a mother giving her 11-month-old ferrous sulfate followed by two ounces of orange juice, what should the nurse do next?

A. Suggest placing the iron drops in the orange juice and feed the infant. B. Advise the mother to follow the iron drops with formula instead of orange juice. C. Instruct the mother to feed the infant nothing in the next 30 minutes after the iron. D. Give positive feedback about the way she administered the sulfate.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Providing positive feedback is essential in reinforcing correct behaviors.

This positive reinforcement can boost the mother's confidence and adherence to the recommended administration method, ultimately benefiting the infant's health.

A. Decreased urinary output B. Decreased periorbital edema C. Increased periods of rest D. Weight gain of 0.5 kg/day

Correct Answer: B

A. Administer antibiotics as prescribed B. Place the child in protective isolation C. Encourage the child to eat a balanced diet D. Teach the parents about infection prevention

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The priority intervention for a 5-year-old child with leukemia receiving chemotherapy and having a low white blood cell count is to place the child in protective isolation.

Protective isolation aims to limit the child's exposure to pathogens and promote their safety during a period of increased vulnerability to infections.
