Nursing Care of Children ATI Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is providing anticipatory guidance to the parent of a 9-month-old infant during a well-baby visit. Which topic would be most appropriate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because at 9 months, infants become more mobile, increasing the risk of choking hazards from small objects left on the floor. Cautioning about putting the infant in a walker (
Choice
A) is not as crucial at this age as warning about choking hazards. While advising how to create a toddler-safe home (
Choice
B) is essential, the most critical concern at 9 months is small objects. Instructing on safety procedures during baths (
Choice
C) is important but does not address the immediate risk of choking hazards associated with small objects.
Question 2 of 5
Which statement regarding bottle mouth caries requires further teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Putting an infant to bed with a bottle of milk or sweetened juice increases the risk of bottle mouth caries rather than decreasing it. This statement requires further teaching as it provides incorrect information.
Choice B is correct as eliminating the bedtime bottle or substituting water is recommended to prevent bottle mouth caries.
Choice C is also correct as sugar pooling within the oral cavity can indeed cause severe decay.
Choice D is correct as bottle mouth caries is often observed in children between 18 months and 3 years.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is preparing to administer a measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (MMRV) vaccine. Which is a contraindication associated with administering this vaccine?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A compromised immune system is a contraindication for the MMRV vaccine because it is a live attenuated vaccine and could potentially cause an infection in an immunocompromised child.
Question 4 of 5
A 14-year-old with chronic renal failure suddenly becomes non-compliant with the medication regimen. Which nursing intervention would most likely improve compliance?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Adolescents often seek guidance and support from their peers. Setting up a meeting with older teens who are effectively managing chronic renal failure can provide the 14-year-old with motivation, encouragement, and practical advice on how to handle their treatment regimen. This peer support can positively influence the non-compliant adolescent, making choice B the most likely intervention to improve compliance.
Choices A and C may not address the peer influence aspect of adolescent behavior, while choice D focuses on punitive measures rather than addressing the underlying reasons for non-compliance.
Question 5 of 5
According to Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, the school-age child is in which stage?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Industry vs. inferiority.' According to Erikson's theory, school-age children (approximately 6-12 years old) are in the stage of industry vs. inferiority. In this stage, children focus on developing a sense of competence and productivity.
Choice B, 'Autonomy vs. shame and doubt,' is incorrect as it refers to the stage that occurs during early childhood (1-3 years old).
Choice C, 'Identity vs. role diffusion,' pertains to adolescence (12-18 years old).
Choice D, 'Trust vs. mistrust,' is related to the stage of infancy (0-1 year old).
Therefore, option A is the most appropriate stage for school-age children in Erikson's theory.
