Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Be careful in helping children with mononucleosis to turn in bed ensuring that no pressure is placed over the splenic area. If palpating the spleen, do so gently to avoid inadvertent rupture. The child needs an adequate fluid intake. Corticosteroids are not indicated for this disease. Counseling on the transmission of the illness can occur later when the child's health improves.
