Dengue fever

Dengue fever ( 24 Questions)

A client with dengue fever exhibits signs of shock, rapid and weak pulse, and narrow pulse pressure. Which statement is most appropriate for the nurse to make?


Correct Answer: C

Choice A rationale:

Incorrect. While avoiding aspirin is generally advised in dengue fever management, it is not the most appropriate statement to address the signs of shock and rapid pulse.

Choice B rationale:

Incorrect. Though monitoring platelet count is important in dengue fever, it does not address the urgent need for intervention in a client exhibiting signs of shock.

Choice C rationale:

Correct. The nurse should administer IV fluids to improve hydration and help stabilize the client's condition in response to signs of shock.

Choice D rationale:

Incorrect. Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory drug, and its use is not recommended in dengue fever due to the increased risk of bleeding.
