Question 1 of 5
A child is sent to the school nurse by a teacher who has a written note that fifth disease is suspected. Which characteristic would the nurse expect to find?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Erythema on the face, primarily on cheeks giving a 'slapped face' appearance. This is a hallmark of fifth disease (erythema infectiosum).
Question 2 of 5
An adolescent with type 1 diabetes mellitus is experiencing a growth spurt. Which treatment approach would be most effective for this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: During an adolescent growth spurt, a regimen of multiple insulin doses achieves better control of the blood glucose level because it more closely simulates endogenous insulin release. A single daily dose of insulin wouldn't control this client's blood glucose level as effectively. Limiting dietary fat intake wouldn't help the body use glucose at the cellular level. An adolescent with type 1 diabetes mellitus doesn't produce insulin and therefore can't receive an oral antidiabetic agent instead of insulin.
Question 3 of 5
Which of these variations in the newborn results from the presence of maternal hormones?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Engorgement of the breasts. Breast engorgement occurs in both sexes as a result of the withdrawal of maternal hormones after birth.
Question 4 of 5
The physician has ordered an oil retention enema and a cleansing enema for a client. How should the nurse plan to carry out these orders?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Oil retention enemas soften hardened stool, and cleansing enemas remove it. Administering the oil retention enema first allows time for stool softening, followed by the cleansing enema to evacuate it. Mixing or reversing the order is ineffective, and spacing over days is unnecessary.
