Question 1 of 5

A child with pyloric stenosis is having excessive vomiting. The nurse should assess for what potential complication?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Excessive vomiting in pyloric stenosis leads to the loss of stomach acid (hydrochloric acid), resulting in metabolic alkalosis, not hyperkalemia, hyperchloremia, or metabolic acidosis. Metabolic alkalosis is characterized by a higher pH level in the blood due to the loss of acid and a relative increase in bicarbonate. Hyperkalemia is an elevated level of potassium in the blood and is not directly related to excessive vomiting in pyloric stenosis. Hyperchloremia is an excess of chloride in the blood, which is not typically associated with this condition. Metabolic acidosis is a condition characterized by a lower pH level in the blood, caused by an excess of acid or a loss of bicarbonate, which is not the typical complication seen in pyloric stenosis with excessive vomiting.

Question 2 of 5

A school-age child with celiac disease asks for guidance about snacks that will not exacerbate the disease. What snack should the nurse suggest?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Popcorn is a safe snack for a child with celiac disease as it is naturally gluten-free. Other options like pizza, pretzels, and oatmeal cookies typically contain gluten unless specifically made with gluten-free ingredients, which can exacerbate celiac symptoms.
Therefore, popcorn is the best option to suggest to the child to avoid any adverse effects on their condition.

Question 3 of 5

What is the primary treatment goal for a child with juvenile idiopathic arthritis?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The primary treatment goal for a child with juvenile idiopathic arthritis is pain management. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is a chronic condition with no known cure, making pain management crucial to improve the quality of life for these children. While reducing joint deformity and physical therapy are important aspects of managing the condition, the primary focus is on alleviating pain and improving function.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse is preparing to admit a 10-year-old child with appendicitis. What clinical manifestations should the nurse expect to observe?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Correct! Typical signs of appendicitis include fever, vomiting, and tachycardia due to infection and inflammation. These clinical manifestations are commonly observed in patients with appendicitis. Hyperactive bowel sounds are not typically associated with appendicitis, so they are not expected findings in this situation.
Therefore, the correct answer is 'All of the above.'

Question 5 of 5

For a child with Kawasaki disease, which symptom is most indicative of the acute phase?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Strawberry tongue. In Kawasaki disease, a 'strawberry tongue' is most indicative of the acute phase. This refers to the tongue appearing red and swollen with enlarged fungiform papillae, giving it a strawberry-like appearance. Joint pain (
Choice
B) is more commonly associated with other conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. Rash (
Choice
C) and peeling skin (
Choice
D) are also seen in Kawasaki disease but are not as specific to the acute phase as the presence of a strawberry tongue.
