<u>Educating and assuring the mother that a catheterization will not result in an emotional problem for her infant.</u>

A 7-month-old infant is used to having the perineal area exposed and cared for and is not in a developmental stage, thus the procedure will not be emotionally traumatic for the child.

The order is for a catheterized specimen. Although the mother does have the right to refuse, her concern is not realistic for an infant at this age. The mother needs to be educated.

The priority is assuring the mother that a catheterization will not result in an emotional problem for her infant.

CaHeK987 [17]

Explanation:

The air enters the lungs through the nose and mouth, initially passing through the pharynx, from there the air passes through the epiglottis to reach the larynx (where the vocal cords meet); then continue to the trachea, which is divided into 2 tubes in its lower part, called right and left bronchial (primary bronchi). It ends up in even smaller tubes called bronchioles, as thin as a hair and finally ending, in the alveoli, where the gas exchange occurs.

These immunizations should be given at least 14 days before a scheduled splenectomy, or given after the fourteenth postoperative day (strength of recommendation [SOR]: A,based on systematic review of RCTs for the pneumococcal vaccine; SOR: B, based on systematic review of clinical trials for meningococcal and Hib vaccines).
