Extract:
Question 1 of 5
During a child's 18-month checkup, the mother remarks that her child is not doing any of the following. Which would cause most concern to the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Lack of eye contact at 18 months may indicate developmental issues like autism, warranting urgent evaluation, unlike the other age-appropriate delays.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is teaching a parent about side effects of routine immunizations. Which of the following must be reported immediately?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Seizure activity. Other reactions that should be reported include crying for >3 hours, temperature over 104.8 degrees Fahrenheit following DPT immunization, and tender, swollen, reddened areas.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is to open a sterile package. How should the nurse plan to open the first flap?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Opening the first flap away from the nurse maintains sterility by preventing hands from passing over the sterile field. Opening toward the nurse or to the sides risks contamination.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for an 80-year-old client with Parkinson’s disease.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Parkinson’s disease is progressive and irreversible, so maintaining optimal function within the client’s limitations is the most realistic goal, focusing on mobility, safety, and quality of life. Returning to normal activities, preparing for death, or arresting progression are unrealistic or inappropriate.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who has a cervical radioactive implant. Which action is not appropriate for the nurse when caring for this client?
