Answer:

The correct answer to the question: Which statement or instruction would be the most appropriate for this situation, would be, A: he is very stable, but we will take him to the hospital. The danger lies in the infection spreading to the lungs.

Explanation:

The most important deal here is that this is a child of only six years of age and that he is starting to show an increase in his temperature, as the numbers reach 98.9F, which is on the borderline to actual fever. This indicates that the original infection, which was affecting the upper airways is now starting to affect more. Another point here is the heart rate, which, although not absolutely abnormal for a child of 6, is still showing increases, which indicates the advancement of the infection and the increase of temperature. The mother needs to know that none of the signs show that the child is in inminent danger, that his vital signs in general are stable, but, he does need to be brought for treatment because the signs do indicate that the infection is spreading, and affecting the lungs.
