Chapter 1 : Perspectives of Pediatric Nursing Questions
Question 1 of 5
Parents of a hospitalized toddler ask the nurse, What is meant by family-centered care? The nurse should respond with which statement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The three key components of family-centered care are respect, collaboration, and support. Family-centered care recognizes the family as the constant in the childs life. The family should be enabled and empowered to work with the health care system and is expected to be part of the decision-making process. The nurse should also support the familys cultural diversity, not reduce its effect.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is describing clinical reasoning to a group of nursing students. Which is most descriptive of clinical reasoning?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Clinical reasoning is a complex developmental process based on rational and deliberate thought. When thinking is clear, precise, accurate, relevant, consistent, and fair, a logical connection develops between the elements of thought and the problem at hand.
Question 3 of 5
Evidence-based practice (EBP), a decision-making model, is best described as which?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: EBP helps focus on measurable outcomes; the use of demonstrated, effective interventions; and questioning what is the best approach. EBP involves decision making based on data, not all evidence on a particular situation, and involves the latest available data. Nurses can use textbooks to determine areas of concern and potential involvement.
Question 4 of 5
Which best describes signs and symptoms as part of a nursing diagnosis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Signs and symptoms are the cues and clusters of defining characteristics that are derived from a patient assessment and indicate actual health problems. The first part of the nursing diagnosis is the problem statement, also known as the human response to the state of illness or health. The identification of actual health problems may be part of the medical diagnosis. The nursing diagnosis is based on the human response to these problems. The human response is therefore a component of the nursing diagnostic statement. Potential risk factors are used to identify nursing care needs to avoid the development of an actual health problem when a potential one exists.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is talking to a group of parents of school-age children at an after-school program about childhood health problems. Which statement should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When teaching parents of school-age children about childhood health problems, the nurse should include information about childhood obesity because it is the most common problem among children and is associated with type 2 diabetes. Teaching parents about ways to prevent obesity is important to include. Immunization rates differ depending on the childs race and ethnicity; dental caries continues to be a common chronic disease in childhood; and mental health problems are seen in children as young as school age, not just in adolescents.
