The nurse is assessing a 7-year-old boy with pharyngitis. The nurse would least likely expect to assess which of the following?
A) Working hard to breathe
B) Difficulty swallowing
C) Rash on the abdomen
D) Sore throat and headache
A
Feedback:
Disorders of the nose and throat do not result in increased work of breathing, so that would not be observed by the nurse. Difficulty swallowing, sore throat, and headache are consistent with pharyngitis, as is the rash, which would be fine, red, and sandpaper-like (called scarlatiniform).
