Question 1 of 5
During the client interview for a developmentally normal 18-month-old, the parent expresses concern about the small amount of food the child consumes. What is the nurse's priority intervention?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
Toddlers often eat small amounts due to slower growth rates and picky eating. Educating parents about normal toddler nutrition addresses concerns and promotes appropriate feeding practices.
Question 2 of 5
A 6-year-old was just diagnosed with pediculosis capitis. Which comment by the mother of the child indicates to the nurse in the physician's office that she does not understand how this condition is spread?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Blaming a dirty house misrepresents lice transmission, which occurs via direct head-to-head contact or sharing items, indicating misunderstanding.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is reinforcing teaching to a client with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who was prescribed oral theophylline. Which client statement indicates that additional teaching is required?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Cimetidine inhibits theophylline metabolism, increasing toxicity risk. Omeprazole is safer, and this statement indicates a need for further teaching.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is discussing the concept of parallel play with parents of toddlers. Which statement should the nurse include to describe this type of play?
