Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with an adolescent client who has oral candidiasis and a new prescription for clotrimazole troche. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Dissolving the troche slowly maximizes effectiveness. Refrigeration isn't needed, crushing alters delivery, and white patches indicate ongoing infection, not a reason to stop.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parent of a child who is newly diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. Which of the following guidelines should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A snack before activity prevents hypoglycemia. Increased carbs when sick requires guidance, bedtime snacks prevent overnight lows, and meals should balance nutrients, not focus on proteins.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to percuss an adolescent's chest and abdomen. Which of the following areas should the nurse expect to hear a dull sound?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The right upper quadrant is dull due to the liver. The chest is resonant, and intestines are tympanic.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a 7-year-old child. Which of the following findings indicates a developmental delay?

Rationale: Difficulty distinguishing right from left by age 7 suggests a developmental delay, as this milestone is typically achieved earlier. Other options reflect advanced skills not expected at this age.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a preschooler immediately following the application of a long-leg plaster cast due to a fracture. Which of the following actions is the nurse's priority?
