Please read the clinical scenario, and then answer the question that follow to become familiar with the traditional NCLEX question format.

The patient’s mother indicated that the child had been ill for the past 2 days, was eating poorly, and sleeping a great deal of the time. You swab the patient’s throat for rapid microbial analysis, suspecting the problem was due to a common pathogen. -You come to work the next day to find the laboratory report on your patient.It concludes that the child was infected with influenza B virus.The physician has left you a message to call in a script for which medication for the child?

Please read the clinical scenario, and then answer the question that follow to become familiar with the traditional NCLEX question format. About 5 days ago, a 45-year-old patient began experiencing symptoms of what appeared to be a simple upper respiratory tract infection. She has come to the ER after experiencing mild paralysis in her arms and an abnormal heartbeat. While in triage, she suddenly develops difficulty breathing and is sent up to the respiratory unit where you are the charge nurse. In your initial assessment, you discover gross inflammation of her pharynx and tonsils, and the entire area appears to be covered by a grayish-white membrane. You order a throat swab and additional specimens for microbial analysis, and you immediately send the patient into isolation. -The laboratory technician informs you of the initial information on the pathogen,but tells you that culturing on specialized media will be required for definitive identification of the microbe.Which medium will the technicians use to most efficiently culture this suspected pathogen?
