The school nurse is walking through the lunchroom when one of the children says she feels strange after switching her lunch with her friend. Which assessment would be most important?
A) Asking if she has a rash anywhere
B) Checking if she has any nausea
C) Determining if her throat itches
D) Asking if she has abdominal pain
C
Feedback:
Asking if the child's throat itches is most important because this aids in determining airway patency, which is always the priority. Asking about a rash, nausea, or abdominal pain can be done after the nurse is certain the child's airway is not jeopardized.
