It is determined that a preschool-age child developed anemia after exposure to an insecticide. What should the nurse teach the parents before the child is discharged from the hospital?
A) Schedule weekly chelating treatments.
B) Provide the child with a high-protein diet.
C) Schedule hospital visits to desensitize the child to the insecticide.
D) Ensure that the child has no further exposure exposed to the insecticide.
D
Feedback:
The first step in therapy is to immediately ensure that the child is never exposed to the substance again. Chelation therapy is to remove excess iron from the blood and body. A high-protein diet is not indicated for this health problem. The child does not need weekly hospital visits for desensitization.
