A 9-year-old girl
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is using the formula for bladder capacity to measure the bladder capacity of a 9-year-old girl what number would the nurse document measurement?
Correct Answer: A

A preschooler
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is explaining to parents that the preschooler's developmental task is focused on the development of initiative rather than guilt. What is a priority intervention the nurse might recommend for parents of preschoolers to stimulate initiative?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Reward the child for initiative in order to build self-esteem. This intervention is appropriate because positive reinforcement encourages the child to continue demonstrating initiative, leading to a sense of accomplishment and self-worth. Rewarding the child reinforces the behavior, promoting a positive cycle of initiative and self-esteem development. Changing routines often (
A) may disrupt the child's sense of stability rather than stimulate initiative. Deciding how and with whom the child will play (
C) limits the child's autonomy and may hinder the development of initiative. Not setting limits on behavior (
D) can lead to impulsivity and lack of boundaries, which are not conducive to healthy development.
Question 4 of 5
Which food suggestion would be most appropriate for the mother of a preschooler to ensure an adequate intake of calcium?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: White beans. White beans are a good source of calcium, which is essential for bone health in preschoolers. They provide a significant amount of calcium per serving compared to the other options. Enriched bread, fortified cereal, and spinach do not contain as much calcium as white beans. Enriched bread and fortified cereal may have added nutrients, but they are not primary sources of calcium. Spinach, although a healthy vegetable, contains oxalates that can inhibit calcium absorption.
Therefore, white beans are the most appropriate choice to ensure an adequate intake of calcium for the mother of a preschooler.

An Asian family with a child hospitalized for leukemia
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is performing a cultural assessment of an Asian family that has a child hospitalized for leukemia. What is the best technique for providing culturally competent care for this family?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Asking the family about their culture and listening is the best technique for providing culturally competent care. This approach shows respect for the family's unique cultural beliefs and practices, allowing the nurse to tailor care to their specific needs. It promotes open communication and trust, essential for effective healthcare delivery. Other choices are incorrect; A assumes homogeneity among Asians, B may lead to misinterpretation, and D may overlook individual variations. The key is to engage with the family directly to understand their cultural perspectives.
