A pediatric clinic nurse is planning care for a healthy 2-month-old infant presenting for a routine well-child visit. Which intervention should the nurse implement as a primary prevention strategy appropriate for this client?

  1. Administering the first doses of the rotavirus and diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccines.Cevap
  2. B
    Screening the infant's hip joints for developmental dysplasia using the Barlow and Ortolani maneuvers.
  3. C
    Instructing the parents to begin transitioning the infant to whole cow's milk to support bone calcification.
  4. D
    Demonstrating the correct application of a prescribed Pavlik harness to manage hip instability.

Cevap

Administering the first doses of the rotavirus and diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccines.
The correct answer involves administering immunizations, which is a quintessential example of primary prevention. Primary prevention aims to prevent disease or injury before it ever occurs by reducing exposure to hazards or enhancing physiological resistance. Furthermore, the first doses of the rotavirus and DTaP vaccines are standard, developmentally appropriate immunizations scheduled for a 2-month-old infant.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the client's developmental stage.
The client is a healthy 2-month-old infant presenting for routine care.
Nursing interventions must be developmentally appropriate for the client's specific age group.
2
Identify the requested level of prevention.
The question specifically asks for a 'primary prevention' strategy.
Accurately matching the intervention to the correct level of prevention (primary, secondary, or tertiary) is essential for prioritizing care.
3
Evaluate the options against primary prevention criteria and infant age requirements.
Administering the 2-month routine vaccines (rotavirus, DTaP) provides specific protection to prevent disease before it occurs, perfectly matching both criteria.
Primary prevention involves health promotion and specific protection against illness, while eliminating options that focus on screening (secondary), treatment (tertiary), or inappropriate milestones.
