Nursing Care of Children Final ATI Questions
Question 1 of 5
Evidence-based practice (EBP), a decision-making model, is best described as which?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Evidence-based practice involves gathering and integrating all relevant evidence to guide clinical decision-making, ensuring that care is based on the best available research.
Question 2 of 5
Which disease would require strict isolation of the patient?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Chickenpox. Chickenpox is highly infectious and is transmitted through direct contact, droplet spread, and contaminated objects. Due to its high communicability, strict isolation of the patient is necessary to prevent the spread of the disease. Mumps is primarily transmitted through direct contact with the infected person's saliva, with peak contagiousness before the onset of swelling. Exanthema subitum (roseola) has an unknown transmission source. Erythema infectiosum (fifth disease) is contagious before the appearance of symptoms.
Therefore, these diseases do not require the same level of strict isolation as chickenpox.
Question 3 of 5
Why does the nurse have a 2-year-old boy sit in a "tailor" position while palpating for the presence of the testes?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The tailor position stretches the muscle responsible for the cremasteric reflex, preventing it from contracting and pulling the testes into the pelvic cavity. This position helps accurately palpate the testes.
Choice B is incorrect because the position does not facilitate the palpation of undescended testes specifically.
Choice C is incorrect as it does not relate to the rationale behind the tailor position.
Choice D is incorrect as the reason for using the tailor position is not related to the child's need for privacy.
Question 4 of 5
At what stage can infants raise their heads and gain control of their trunks before walking due to which directional pattern of development?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Cephalocaudal. The cephalocaudal pattern of development means that growth and motor control proceed from the head downward through the body. This explains why infants can raise their heads before they can sit and gain control of their trunks before walking.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. Anterior to posterior refers to development from the front to the back, while proximodistal refers to development from the center of the body outward. Normal growth curve charts are used to track physical growth over time and are not directly related to the directional pattern of development in infants.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse manager is compiling a report for a hospital committee on the quality of nursing-sensitive indicators for a nursing unit. Which does the nurse manager include in the report?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The education and certification of nurses are key nursing-sensitive indicators that reflect the quality of care provided on the unit.
