Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The mother of a 3 month-old infant tells the nurse that she wants to change from formula to whole milk and add cereal and meats to the diet. What should be emphasized as the nurse teaches about infant nutrition?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Cow's milk is not given to infants younger than 1 year because the tough, hard curd is difficult to digest. In addition, it contains little iron and creates a high renal solute load.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse assesses the development of a three-month-old boy in the well-baby clinic.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Grasping for objects out of reach is unexpected until around 6 months of age. Holding the head erect, turning toward sounds, and spontaneous smiling are developmentally appropriate for a three-month-old.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is providing instructions for a client with pneumonia. What is the most important information to convey to the client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Complete all of the antibiotic even if your findings decrease. Finishing the full antibiotic course prevents recurrence and resistance.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative day 1 after a total hysterectomy. Which of the following findings should the nurse report immediately?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A temperature of 100.8°F suggests infection, a serious post-hysterectomy complication. Options A, C, and D are normal.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for clients in outpatient surgery.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: For a four-year-old, using dolls or puppets to demonstrate the procedure in simple terms is developmentally appropriate, addressing what the child will experience (see, hear, feel). Drawing pictures or reading books is better for school-aged children, and time concepts like one hour are not relatable to preschoolers.
