Question 3 of 5

The nurse is assessing a 22-month-old child who is thought to be autistic. During an interview with the nurse, the child's mother makes all of the following statements about his behavior until he was 1 year old. Which statement most strongly suggests that the child may be autistic?

Question 4 of 5

The school nurse is reviewing the immunization record of the 8-year-old incoming student. Which finding warrants further follow-up by the nurse?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Hepatitis B requires 3 doses for full immunization, so 2 doses warrant follow-up.

Question 5 of 5

The nurse compares the 0800-hour VS to the previously obtained VS (See VS chart). Acetaminophen was last given at 0600 hours. What should be the nurse's priority?

Correct Answer: C
