Practice Question
A nurse is preparing to administer required immunizations to a toddler during a well-child visit. The parent asks the nurse how many baby aspirins he should administer if the toddler develops a fever. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
"You should avoid administering aspirin to your child."
Rationale:
🛑 Aspirin is contraindicated in children, especially during febrile illnesses, due to the risk of Reye's syndrome, a rare but potentially fatal condition that causes acute encephalopathy and liver dysfunction.
🛑 This applies to all forms of aspirin, including baby aspirin, regardless of dose or frequency.
🛑 For fever management in toddlers, acetaminophen or ibuprofen (if age-appropriate) is recommended based on weight and age-specific dosing guidelines.
🛑 Administering an antibiotic for a vaccine-related fever is inappropriate; fevers after immunization are usually mild and self-limiting, not bacterial.
🛑 Educating parents about safe fever management practices is essential to prevent harmful medication use.
