The child's mother tells the nurse that when Isabelle first complained of a headache, the child's father gave her half of an adult aspirin. The mother has heard of Reye syndrome and asks the nurse if her child could get this. Which of the following statements would be best for the nurse to say to this mother? A) "This might or might not be a problem. Watch Isabelle for signs of lethargy, unusual irritability, confusion, or vomiting. If you notice any of these, bring her to the emergency room immediately so she can be checked for Reye syndrome." B) "This is a serious problem. Aspirin is likely to cause Reye syndrome, and Isabelle should be admitted to the hospital for observation as a precaution." C) "This is unlikely to be a problem.

Watch Isabelle for signs of nasal discharge, sneezing, itching of the nose or dark circles under the eyes. If you notice any of these, bring her to the emergency room immediately so she can be checked for Reye syndrome."
