2.Instruct the parent to provide the infected child with washcloths and towels separate from the client's.
Correct!

Impetigo is a common and highly contagious, bacterial skin infection that mainly affects infants and children. Impetigo usually appears as red sores on the face, especially around a child's nose and mouth, and on hands and feet. The sores burst and develop honey-colored crusts. The priority nursing functions related to bacterial skin infections are to prevent the spread of infection and to prevent complications. Impetigo can easily spread and hand washing is mandatory before and after contact with an affected child. The infected child should be provided with washcloths and towels separate from those of other family members and the infected child's clothes should be changed daily and washed in hot water. A topical bactericidal ointment can be used if the client becomes infected too. An anti-inflammatory cream such as hydrocortisone will not prevent the client from becoming infected. Antibiotics should not be prescribed for prevention in this situation. Oral or parenteral antibiotics (penicillin) are reserved for severe cases of an actual infection. Keeping the client isolated is not necessary or appropriate in a home setting.

Choice B is correct.

The client's symptoms suggest fluid volume excess due to the client's congestive heart failure. A loop diuretic, such as furosemide, is highly effective in treating this exacerbation.
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Mannitol is a diuretic used for the reduction of increased intracranial pressure. This is because mannitol is an osmotic diuretic that does not cross the blood-brain barrier. A gradient is developed between plasma and brain cells, causing a shift from the extracellular space into the blood vessels. Calcium channel blockers (diltiazem and verapamil) are contraindicated for individuals with heart failure. Calcium channel blockers have a significant negative inotropic effect and would be detrimental to a heart failure diagnosis
