Dengue fever ( 24 Questions)

(Select all that apply):. A nurse is educating a community about preventing dengue fever. Which measures should the nurse include in the teaching? (Select all that apply.)


Correct Answer: ["A","B","D","E"]

Choice A rationale:

The nurse should include the recommendation to use mosquito repellent with DEET in the teaching session as DEET is an effective insect repellent that helps prevent mosquito bites.

Choice B rationale:

Removing standing water to eliminate breeding sites should be included in the education session as stagnant water serves as a breeding ground for mosquitoes, and eliminating such sites can reduce the mosquito population.

Choice C rationale:

The nurse should not include taking aspirin for fever and joint pain relief in the teaching session because aspirin can increase the risk of bleeding, which is especially concerning in dengue fever cases due to its association with bleeding complications.

Choice D rationale:

Wearing long sleeves and pants to protect against mosquito bites should be part of the teaching session as it provides physical barriers to prevent mosquito bites.

Choice E rationale:

Avoiding going outdoors during the daytime should be included in the teaching session as dengue fever is primarily transmitted by mosquitoes, which are more active during the daytime.
