Incubation period |
|
b. |

|
c. |
Desquamation period |
|
d. |

The incubation period is the interval between infection or exposure and appearance of symptoms. The prodromal period is the interval between the time when early manifestations of disease appear and the overt clinical syndrome is evident. Desquamation refers to the shedding of skin. The period of communicability is the time or times during which an infectious agent may be transferred directly or indirectly from an infected person to another person.

2. Airborne isolation is required for a child who is hospitalized with:
|
a. |
mumps. |
|
b. |
chickenpox. |
|
c. |
exanthema subitum (roseola). |
|
d. |
erythema infectiosum (fifth disease). |
ANS: B
Chickenpox is communicable through direct contact, droplet spread, and contaminated objects. Mumps is transmitted from direct contact with saliva of infected person and is most communicable before onset of swelling. The transmission and source of the viral infection exanthema subitum (roseola) is unknown. Erythema infectiosum (fifth disease) is communicable before onset of symptoms.

3. Acyclovir (Zovirax) is given to children with chickenpox to:
|
a. |
minimize scarring. |
|
b. |
decrease the number of lesions. |
|
c. |
prevent aplastic anemia. |
|
d. |
prevent spread of the disease. |
ANS: B
Acyclovir decreases the number of lesions; shortens duration of fever; and decreases itching, lethargy, and anorexia. Treating pruritus and discouraging itching minimizes scarring. Aplastic anemia is not a complication of chickenpox. Strict isolation until vesicles are dried prevents spread of disease.

4. The single parent of a 3-year-old child who has just been diagnosed with chickenpox tells the nurse that she cannot afford to stay home with the child and miss work. The parent asks the nurse if some medication will shorten the course of the illness. Which is the most appropriate nursing intervention?
|
a. |
Reassure the parent that it is not necessary to stay home with the child. |
|
b. |
Explain that no medication will shorten the course of the illness. |
|
c. |
Explain the advantages of the medication acyclovir (Zovirax) to treat chickenpox. |
|
d. |
Explain the advantages of the medication VCZ immune globulin (VariZIG) to treat chickenpox. |
ANS: C
Acyclovir is effective in treating the number of lesions; shortening the duration of fever; and decreasing itching, lethargy, and anorexia. It is important the parent stay with the child to monitor fever. Acyclovir lessens the severity of chickenpox. VariZIG is given only to high-risk children.

5. Which may be given to high-risk children after exposure to chickenpox to prevent varicella?
|
a. |
Acyclovir (Zovirax) |
|
b. |
Varicella globulin |
|
c. |
Diphenhydramine hydrochloride (Benadryl) |
|
d. |
VCZ immune globulin (VariZIG) |
ANS: D
VariZIG is given to high-risk children to prevent the development of chickenpox. Acyclovir decreases the severity, not the development, of chickenpox. Varicella globulin is not effective because it is not the immune globulin. Diphenhydramine may help pruritus but not the actual chickenpox.

|
b. |

When fever is absent |
|
b. |

|
c. |
24 hours after lesions erupt |
|

ANS: B
When the lesions are crusted, the chickenpox is no longer contagious. This may be a week after onset of disease. Chickenpox is still contagious when child has fever. Children are contagious after lesions erupt. If lesions are crusted at 8 days, the child is no longer contagious.
