A nurse is assessing a child who has measles. Which of the following areas should the nurse inspect for Koplik spots?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C. Koplik spots are small, white spots with a blue-white center, surrounded by a red ring. They appear on the buccal mucosa opposite the molars. By inspecting the area C, the nurse can identify these characteristic spots. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because Koplik spots specifically appear on the buccal mucosa, not on other areas of the mouth or body. Choices E, F, and G are left blank as they do not pertain to the question.
