ATI Nursing Care of Children Questions

Question 1 of 5

What is an appropriate screening test for hearing that the nurse can administer to a 5-year-old child?

A. Rinne test B. Weber test C. Pure tone audiometry D. Eliciting the startle reflex

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Pure tone audiometry is an appropriate and effective screening test for hearing in a 5-year-old child, helping to assess the ability to hear various frequencies and volumes.

Question 2 of 5

Superficial palpation of the abdomen is often perceived by the child as tickling. Which measure by the nurse is most likely to minimize this sensation and promote relaxation?

A. Palpate another area simultaneously B. Ask the child not to laugh or move C. Begin with deeper palpation and gradually progress to superficial palpation D. Have the child help with palpation by placing his or her hand over the palpating hand

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Allowing the child to place their hand over the nurse's hand helps reduce the tickling sensation and increases the child's comfort during the examination.

Question 3 of 5

The caregiver asks why the 6-month-old infant needs to have solid foods when breast milk is such a good source of nutrition. What would be the best response by the nurse?

A. Solid foods, especially iron-fortified cereals, are introduced to meet the infant's increased nutritional needs, including iron, which breast milk alone may not provide adequately. B. The extrusion reflex must be developed and feeding solid foods will help the infant to develop this reflex. C. Breastfeeding will become painful when the infant gets more teeth, so the infant needs to eat solid foods. D. By this age the infant becomes interested in trying new skills.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct response is A. Solid foods, especially iron-fortified cereals, are introduced to meet the infant's increased nutritional needs, including iron, which breast milk alone may not provide adequately.
Choice B is incorrect because the extrusion reflex is related to the tongue-thrust reflex, not the nutritional needs of the infant.
Choice C is incorrect as breastfeeding does not become painful when the infant gets more teeth, and it is not a reason for introducing solid foods.
Choice D is incorrect as the infant's interest in trying new skills is not a primary reason for introducing solid foods at this age.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse is teaching parents about the effects of media on childhood obesity. The nurse realizes the parents understand the teaching if they make which statements? (Select all that apply.)

A. Advertising of unhealthy food can increase snacking B. Increased screen time may be related to unhealthy sleep C. There is a link between the amount of screen time and obesity D. All of the above

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Increased screen time is associated with unhealthy habits, such as poor sleep and snacking, which contribute to obesity, but it does not necessarily improve nutrition knowledge.

Which type of breath sound is normally heard over the entire surface of the lungs except for the upper intrascapular area and the area beneath the manubrium?

A. Vesicular B. Bronchial C. Adventitious D. Bronchovesicular
