Simulated
A child diagnosed with Kawasaki disease is brought to the clinic. The mother reports that her child is irritable, refuses to eat, and has skin peeling on both hands and feet. Which intervention should the nurse instruct the mother to implement first?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Placing the child in a quiet environment addresses the irritability and sensitivity to light and sound caused by Kawasaki disease, reducing stress and discomfort. Other interventions, while important, are not the priority.
