A nurse is working for the federal government to provide for the protection of the public's health. Which of the following actions would the nurse most likely complete?
a. Interpreting decisions related to women's right to privacy
b. Setting up immunization clinics for small-pox vaccine
c. Regulating nursing at the state level
d. Monitoring the influx of disease at the borders
ANS: D
The United States Constitution gives the federal government the authority to provide for the protection of the public's health. By monitoring the influx of disease at the borders the public's health is being protected. Interpreting decisions does not support the protection of the public's health. Smallpox has been eradicated so it would not be necessary to set up immunization clinics. Regulation of nursing at the state level does not support protection of the public's health by the federal government.

A 3-year-old is admitted to the pediatric unit with a traumatic injury to the right forearm. The mother had been giving the child aspirin at home to control pain and fever
Approximately 3 weeks prior to admission, the child had an upper respiratory infection. The mother asks the nurse why the doctor changed the child's medication from aspirin to acetaminophen. What is the nurse's best response? 1. "Typically, aspirin is a safe salicylate for children of any age." 2. "Acetaminophen is given to children for inflammation and fever when there is a recent or current history of a viral infection, due to the risk of Reye's syndrome." 3. "I really do not know, but I am certain the health care provider has a good reason." 4. "It would be important for the doctor to allow you to continue to medicate your child, since there is a strong level of trust between mother and child."
