teaching about the transmission of roseola would be most accurate?

2. The child does not need to be isolated from the older siblings.
3. Administer acetaminophen to the older siblings to prevent seizures.
4. Monitor older children for seizure development.

more commonly seen in children 6 months to 3 years of age, so siblings
do not need to be isolated.

2. Provide chest pt
3. Observe for weight gain.

5. Assess respiratory system frequently.
1&3
cystic fibrosis is an inherited autsomal trait, causing exocrien gland
dysfunction. 7-10% present meconium ileus, so assessing stool
frequency and consistency is important.
Assessing weight is important in newborns because they lose up to 10%
of their birth weight, and can take 2 weeks for them to regain their birth
weight.Assessing the newborn's respiratory system frequently would be
monitored as frequently as other infants if the newborn has no
respiratory symptoms. Chest pt would not be initiated in a newborn
,without a definitive diagnosis.Can a mother breastfeed their infant if they
have pku?
Yes. Breast milk has low amounts of phenylalanine, so the mother can
breast as long as the infants phenylalanine level is monitored.
Vaccines given routinely at 15 months.
