ATI Nursing Care of Children Questions
Question 1 of 5
Two 3-year-old clients are playing together in a hospital playroom. One is working on a puzzle, while the other is stacking blocks. Which type of play is this?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C, parallel play. Parallel play is observed when children play alongside each other but do not directly interact. In this scenario, each child is engaged in their own activity without engaging or influencing each other's play, which characterizes parallel play. Cooperative play (choice
A) involves children playing together towards a common goal, which is not evident in the given situation. Solitary play (choice
B) is when a child plays alone, unrelated to the presence of others. Associative play (choice
D) involves more interaction and sharing of toys between children, which is not happening in the described play scenario.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a non-English-speaking child and family. Which should the nurse consider when using an interpreter?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse should communicate directly with the family members when asking questions, ensuring the interpreter translates accurately without adding or omitting information.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a child with the following order: Methylprednisolone (Solu-Medrol) 20 mg IV, every 6 hours. The nurse has Methylprednisolone 100 mg in 2 mL available. How many mL should the nurse administer with each dose?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct dosage to administer 20 mg is 0.4 mL, calculated by dividing the dose (20 mg) by the concentration (100 mg in 2 mL). This calculation ensures the accurate administration of the prescribed medication.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the provided concentration of the medication.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is assessing a 3-year-old child. Which assessment finding would the nurse identify as abnormal?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Falling when bending over to touch toes could indicate a developmental delay or a balance issue that may need further assessment.
Choices A, B, and D are typical developmental milestones for a 3-year-old child. Pedaling a tricycle without assistance, unscrewing a bolt on a toy, and building a tower of 10 cubes are all age-appropriate activities for a child of this age.
Question 5 of 5
Which action should the nurse implement when taking an axillary temperature?
