Question 1 of 5
In a child diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot, which of the following is a compensatory mechanism to decrease venous return to the heart?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Squatting is a compensatory mechanism that decreases venous return (deoxygenated blood) to the heart. This clinical sign is commonly seen in young children with Tetralogy of Fallot, a type of cyanotic heart disease. Squatting helps reduce the workload on the heart by decreasing the amount of deoxygenated blood returning to it.

A 1-year-old receives routine health maintenance care at the pediatric clinic. The child receives an MMR immunization. The mother asks the nurse, 'When will my child get the next dose of MMR vaccine?' Which is the correct response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A second MMR, often called a booster, will be needed when the child enters middle school at age eleven or twelve years of age. This ensures full immunity from the diseases covered by the MMR vaccine.
Question 3 of 5
Which is a major difference in the clinical manifestation of adolescents with anorexia nervosa compared to bulimia?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The major difference between adolescents with anorexia nervosa and those with bulimia is body image distortion. Clients with anorexia see themselves as being overweight no matter how underweight they become. Clients with bulimia see their weight realistically but have psychological problems that manifest in an eating disorder. Both disorders may involve binge eating and purging, but body image perception is a distinguishing factor.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse provided discharge teaching to new parents on how to care for their newborn following circumcision. Which of the following statements by the parents indicates the need for further clarification?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: "I can give him a tub bath in two days." This statement indicates the need for further clarification because newborns who have undergone circumcision should avoid submerging the area in water until it is fully healed to prevent infection. Tub baths should be avoided until the circumcision site has completely healed, which usually takes about 7-10 days. It is important to keep the area clean and dry during this time to promote healing.
Explanation for other choices:
A: "I should not remove the yellow exudate on the end of the penis." - Correct, as it is normal and part of the healing process.
B: "I will clean his penis with each diaper change." - Correct, as keeping the area clean helps prevent infection.
C: "The circumcision will heal completely within a couple of weeks." - Correct, as the healing process typically takes around 1-2 weeks.

Choice A is correct as condoms should be put on when the penis is erect.
Choice C is correct as leaving a space at the tip allows room for semen collection.
Choice D is incorrect as spermicidal gels or creams are not recommended due to potential irritation and increased risk of STIs.
