With a history of diabetes, the first response should be to check blood sugar levels.

Option B: Performing a CT scan at this stage of assessment is unnecessary. A computerized tomography (CT) scan combines a series of X-ray images taken from different angles around the body and uses computer processing to create cross-sectional images (slices) of the bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues inside the body. CT scan images provide more detailed information than plain X-rays do.
Option C: A blood culture test helps the doctor figure out if the client has a kind of infection that is in the bloodstream and can affect the entire body. Doctors call this a systemic infection. The test checks a sample of the blood for bacteria or yeast that might be causing the infection.
Option D: An arterial blood gas (ABG) test measures oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood. It also measures the body’s acid-base (pH) level, which is usually in balance when healthy.

Age is not the greatest factor in potty training. The overall mental and physical abilities of the child are the most important factor.

Option A: Readiness for toilet training varies with every age of the child.
Option B: A child who can follow simple instructions may start toilet training. However, it is not considered the most important factor.
Option D: Positive reinforcement is a great tool for toilet training, yet, it may not be the most important one.

The poison control center will have an exact plan of action for this child.

Option A: Ingestion of a chemical is an emergency and should not be delayed.
Option B: Taking the client to the ER may be correct, however, they will still have to contact the Poison Control Center.
Option D: It should not be given to someone who swallowed chemicals that cause burns on contact or medicines that can cause seizures very quickly. It can be dangerous to people with some types of medical problems. When such poisoning victims got Ipecac anyway, they developed serious complications or even died.

Medications are injected into the bulkiest part of the vastus lateralis thigh muscle, which is the junction of the upper and middle thirds of this muscle.

Option A: Intramuscular injections given at the dorsogluteal and ventrogluteal sites are intended for the gluteus maximus and gluteus medius muscles, respectively. However, little research has confirmed the reliability of these sites for the presence and thickness of the target and other muscles, and subcutaneous fat.
Option B: Never give an IM injection in the gluteal muscles to avoid the risk of sciatica nerve damage.
Option D: The vastus medialis muscle is a part of the quadriceps muscle group, located on the front of the thigh.

In this case, you can determine the name of the child by the father’s statement. You should not withhold the medication from the child after identification.

Option A: Contacting the provider is unnecessary and may take time. A pediatric patient must have folks with them inside the room, so asking the child’s folks would be the most appropriate intervention.
Option B: The child may have not yet developed his writing abilities. Some children are able to write their names at age 4, but some typically developing children still aren’t ready until well into age.
Option C: Asking a coworker would be inappropriate and against the patient’s confidentiality.
